NEW DELHI, 4 March (H.S.) : The Bhalswa
landfill site is a mountain of garbage. Before the election, garbage in the
capital, Delhi, was the main issue in the campaign. Today, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta
and LG Vinay Saxena, along with local MLA Deepak Chaudhary and Municipal
Councillor Gayatri Yadav, were surveyed and planted the bamboo plant at the
garbage landfill.
Bhalswa
landfill is an overfilled waste dumping site in Delhi. It is the biggest
problem in the entire area. The mayor of Delhi claimed to have reduced the
garbage mountain by half. He said that 45 lakh metric tons of garbage have been
removed from that mountain.
Chief Minister
Rekha Gupta says that the double-engine government in Delhi is working on
mission mode. There will be all-round development in Delhi. She, further, said
that this is an effort towards the government’s ‘Developed India 2047.’ Now
greenery is being increased in this area by planting bamboo plants. Two thousand
of bamboo plants were planted here so that the entire area remains green and
pollution can be reduced. CM Rekha Gupta said that after removing the garbage
mountain here, very soon there will be a green park, which will completely
eliminate the pollution spreading around, and people will get a good
environment.
At the same
time, Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena also said that a new
beginning has been made here today. Today 2,000 bamboo plants have been planted
here. Within one or one and a half months, 54,000 more trees will be planted.
Bamboo trees have been planted because they give 30% more oxygen; our
government is going to make Delhi pollution-free.
The mayor said
that, in fact, the level of pollution remains very high in the area of
several kilometers around the Bhalswa landfill site. The smoke and dirty
water emanating from the landfill site spread pollution in the entire area;
people are falling ill. In the last few years, work has also been done on this
landfill site.
