Delhi's local government aims to clean up the Bhalswa dump, a major garbage pile, by March 2026, aligning with its election promises. The landfill, which has over 4 million tons of waste, has seen land reclamation efforts since 2019, with 25 acres cleared so far. However, Delhi produces more than 11,000 tons of waste daily, complicating cleanup efforts. Following the Bhalswa site, officials intend to tackle other major landfills, emphasizing the urgent need for effective waste management solutions in the capital city.
"Delhi's new environment minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, announced that by the end of 2025, the once towering Bhalswa landfill would no longer be visible from afar."
"Despite ongoing efforts to reduce the height of the Bhalswa landfill by reclaiming land, Delhi continues to add over 11,000 tons of waste each day, highlighting the scale of the challenge."
