Faridabad to Halt Waste Dumping at Bandhwari Landfill Amid Groundwater Contamination Concerns
The Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) plans to stop sending 800-900 tonnes of daily waste to Gurugram's Bandhwari landfill within a week by developing new local processing units with a combined capacity of up to 1,200 tonnes per day. This move aims to reduce the landfill's burden, which has faced criticism after over 80 groundwater samples around Bandhwari failed safety tests due to contamination. The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) faces fines and legal action for regulatory violations and inadequate leachate treatment at the site.
