Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar reviewed the remediation progress at Delhi's Bhalswa landfill, reporting that nearly 99 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste have been cleared since 2022. The remaining waste is expected to be cleared by mid-October, with fresh waste processed by December 31.
