Delhi and Mumbai Face Delays in Landfill Cleanup and Waste Management Efforts
Monsoon rains have slowed biomining operations at Delhi's major landfills, delaying waste clearance targets set by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Similarly, Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation faces delays in clearing the Deonar landfill due to pending statutory approvals, affecting rehabilitation timelines for residents. Meanwhile, the BMC has launched a campaign to reduce garbage at vulnerable points across Mumbai, achieving some initial success but facing questions about the sustainability of these efforts. Both cities continue to grapple with legacy waste and fresh municipal garbage challenges.
