The massive fire that broke out at the Ghazipur landfill site in Delhi on Sunday evening continued in the night. Efforts were underway to douse the fire.

MCD on Saturday clarified that it has awarded integrated contract for biomining of legacy waste at Bhalswa and Ghazipur dumpsites after Ghaziabad Mayor seized MCD's trucks over allegedly dumping wastes from Delhi's landfill in the Ghaziabad area.

"I'd like to draw your attention to the biggest landfill site in Asia, which is in my constituency," ex-cricketer shares 2020 letter to Mr Kejriwal

Asthma, recurrent chest infections, breathing difficulties and other respiratory illness are common in families living in the shadow of Delhi's tallest garbage mountain, Ghazipur landfill site, with frequent fires leaving them gasping for breath.

Two fire tenders are involved in dousing the fire that has been raging in several pockets of East Delhi's Ghazipur dumping yard for close to 48 hours, an official said on Wednesday.

A fire broke out at the dumping yard in east Delhi's Ghazipur area on Monday, sending large clouds of thick black smoke over the city sky.

The huge 'mountain of garbage' at the saturated Ghazipur landfill site still receives tonnes of garbage every day - but Delhi residents have found a unique way of letting their frustration be known. For about a year now, people have been flooding the Internet with five-star reviews for the Ghazipur garbage dump.
