While Delhi govt's target is to eliminate all mountains of garbage by 2028, MCD is considering diversion of 90,000 metric tonnes of fresh garbage annually from Ghazipur landfill to Okhla.
Delhi’s oldest and largest dumping ground, Ghazipur landfill, continues to be a health hazard and a fire risk. Latest fire has ignited new AAP vs BJP battle, but residents want action.
MCD aims to flatten Okhla and Bhalswa landfills by Dec 2023, and Ghazipur by March 2024. G20 has led to calls to finish Okhla work by Sept. Experts say even 5 years not enough.
India's richest civic body’s outlay is 8.77% higher than last year’s, with the biggest allocation being made for infra growth. BMC also proposed an AI boost to its service delivery.
