Ghazipur landfill fire: BJP vs AAP blame game on as Delhi residents suffer with ‘breathing’ issues

livemint.com:

ANI, “We are facing difficulties in breathing due to the smoke caused by the fire. We are unable to talk due to pollution...The fire has been continuing since yesterday morning. The administration has not done anything...We want the government to solve the issue." Another resident, Nazra said that the smoke is causing discomfort to the eyes.

“The entire colony is disturbed. Last time, when the landfill caught fire, there were casualties," she added. Furthermore, LoP in Delhi MCD Sardar Raja Iqbal Singh said that the incident “shows vileness of AAP in MCD", and added, “ People are suffering because of smoke.

People are suffering because of smoke. During our (BJP) times, 25 machines were used to work here, now more than half are not working. Garbage has increased and they are finding no other ways.

This seems to me as mischief by someone in association with the leaders of AAP to make contractors happy and earn money through corruption. They have nothing to do with people, this mountain of garbage is also a mountain of lies." By 2019, the Ghazipur landfill had reached a towering 65 meters, just eight meters shorter than the Qutub Minar. In 2017, a section of the landfill's garbage collapsed onto a nearby road, causing the deaths of two people.
