Kejriwal said 5.25 lakh tonnes (LT) of garbage have been cleared by now instead of 15 lakh tonnes and reasoned disputes within the already deployed three agencies behind the delay in the work.

“At Ghazipur 80-80 lakh tonnes of garbage exist. Progress of removal of this garbage is significantly slow, as per the scheduled target. This is being done by three companies and they are not on the same page since the beginning. We are hiring two more agencies to speed up the process,” Kejriwal said.
