With garbage mountain ablaze, BJP questions govt, MCD role

A massive fire broke out on Sunday evening at the Ghazipur landfill site in east Delhi, prompting a major fire operation with a dozen fire tenders on the scene. According to environment experts, the Ghazipur landfill is among the largest emitters of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that causes atmospheric heating.

The Delhi BJP, out of power in the Municipal Corporation Department (MCD), was quick to fire brickbats at the AAP dispensation at the helm of the civic body for not delivering its promise of clearing the landfill.
