The Morning Standard
|April 18, 2025
14 to 15 lakh metric tonnes of waste at Ghazipur have already been processed, says Sirsa
DELHI's Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Thursday said the government is intensifying efforts to clear the Capital's legacy waste, asserting that the towering garbage mounds will vanish in the next five years "just like dinosaurs." During an inspection of the Ghazipur landfill site, Sirsa said the government is working "on a war footing" to eliminate the long-standing garbage heaps across the city.
He said that around 14 to 15 lakh metric tonnes of the total 70 lakh metric tonnes of waste at Ghazipur have already been processed, with biomining work gaining momentum.
"I want to offer my commitment that the garbage mountains in Delhi will disappear just like dinosaurs," he said.
