NEW DELHI: Raising concerns over the rampant fire incidents over the Ghazipur landfill site while calling them “time bombs”, the National Green Tribunal constituted a joint committee headed by a retired judge to look into the matter.
The tribunal referred to the news published by The Times of India on April 22 that reported another fire eruption at the Ghazipur landfill site, leading to serious health hazards to the people living around the landfill. The fire was the third such incident within the last month.
