Delhi Landfills

BJP MP from East Delhi Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday said that reduction of height of the Ghazipur landfill has been his priority from day one, and claimed that in three years the massive dump will be "decimated totally".

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today said clearing landfill sites, redevelopment of markets, regularisation of temporary employees and timely payment of salaries will be the top priorities of the AAP if it wins the civic body polls.

The AAP will display models of the three landfill sites in Delhi to highlight the BJP's "garbage mismanagement" during its 15-year-old governance of the civic body ahead of elections to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday alleged that the BJP-led MCD has taken out garbage from the Ghazipur landfill and dumped it in nearby areas to show that its height has come down.

Amid AAP's allegations that the MCD is planning new garbage dumping sites in the city, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Saturday asked the civic body to take strict legal action against "elements" misleading people.

Arvind Kejriwal has claimed 16 new sites are coming up for dumping garbage, besides three "mountains" that he called "signs of BJP's failure"

Arvind Kejriwal promised to clean the capital in five years if the Aam Aadmi Party wins the municipal elections that are expected to take place at the end of 2022 or early next year.
