NEW DELHI: To prevent fires at landfills, Delhi government will study the gas sucking system, which is used in Mumbai, and replicate it in the capital, environment minister Gopal Rai said on Thursday. The minister announced this after chairing a joint meeting with experts from IIT Delhi, TERI, Centre for Science and Environment, IGL, GAIL, Delhi Pollution Control Committee and municipal corporations.
The meeting came a day after a massive fire broke out at the Ghazipur landfill, which was the third such incident since March 28 this year.
