Ghazipur Landfill Accident

The National Green Tribunal today slammed the Delhi government and the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) for their inaction on the recent fire that broke out at the Ghazipur landfill site.

The East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) today said it has set the ball rolling for setting up a waste-to-energy plant of 2,000 MT capacity at Ghazipur landfill site.

As Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party tried to corner the BJP-led municipal corporation and the centre over the two deaths in the Ghazipur landfill collapse on Friday, Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal moved swiftly today to ban dumping of any more solid waste at this location.

Garbage dumping in Ghazipur has been banned with immediate effect and the landfill site is likely to be cleared within two years, Lt Governor Anil Baijal's office said today.

A giant pile of garbage teetered and collapsed at a massive dumping site in Delhi this afternoon, pushing a car, an auto-rickshaw and a scooter into a canal. A little girl is believed to be among the two dead; she was thrown off a scooter after an 80-foot heap of garbage crashed onto the road with such force that cars were swept off the road.
