NEW DELHI: The entire area around the Ghazipur landfill site was engulfed in a thick blanket of smoke, leaving local residents struggling for clean air as the city’s biggest unengineered dumpyard caught fire yet again.
The excessive methane stored in pockets of the landfill’s older section continued to emit fumes till late Monday night. The north-westerly winds carried the smoke to the unauthorised residential areas of Gharoli, including Mulla Colony and Rajbir Colony, which bore the brunt of the fire.
