Okhla Landfill: Delhi's Garbage Mountain: A Driver's Fight Against Danger & Neglect
NDTV's Ahtasham Khan visited the Okhla landfill, the largest garbage dumping site in Delhi's Tughlakabad, and spoke to a truck driver navigating this challenging environment. He shared that only expert drivers can handle the treacherous terrain of this mountain of waste. The job comes with immense risks, including exposure to diseases, pollution, smoke, and dust. Despite these hazardous conditions, the drivers lack health insurance or adequate support from their employers, leaving them vulnerable and making their lives extremely tough.
