On the night of November 24th, a fire broke out at the Ghazipur landfill site in the capital, burning for over 24 hours till it could be brought under control.
140 lakh tonnes of waste collected since 1984 lie in the #Ghazipur landfill, with 2,200 tonnes added daily.
"The most ambitious expected outcome is zero landfill," the government had said.
Methinks that as the landfills get higher, both the governments in Delhi also get higher and higher on what they are smoking - vehicle exhaust and landfill emissions.
