Arvind Kejriwal blames MCD
Visited Ghazipur site. Its man made disaster. Criminal. Mountains of garbage. Why doesn't MCD use modern technology to manage solid waste?

Resident of Pali village, Faridabad said
"We are suffering, as every day more than 1,000 tonne of waste is being dumped at the site and is not processed. The stench from the garbage pile fills the air and drives pollution levels as well," said Sushil Bhadana, resident of Pali village, Faridabad.
