Residents say no to waste-dumping

On 3 September, residents of Delhi's Rani Khera and nearby villages decided not to allow dumping of waste in their neighborhood. After Delhi L-G Anil Baijal directed waste dumping at Ghazipur must stop immediately, EDMC decided to dump the waste at Rani Khera.

An EDMC official said East Delhi generates around 2,500 tonnes of waste every day. He added only 1,200 tonnes of garbage was lifted from those areas and sent to the waste-to-energy plant in Ghazipur; some of the waste was also being sent to a landfill site in Okhla. Angry Rani Khera residents continue to oppose waste-dumping at EDMC's proposed landfill in their neighborhood.
