[h=1]Delhi pollution: Bhalswa landfill fire rages on as city chokes[/h] Mayank Manohar| TNN | Updated: Nov 15, 2017, 14:20 IST [h=4]TimesPoints[/h] Bhalswa landfill fire [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-61656273,width-400,resizemode-4/61656273.jpg?imglength=613537[/IMG] NEW DELHI: The frequent landfill fires in Delhi have been adding to the rising [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/pollution-levels"]pollution levels[/URL] and while the municipal corporations have been directed to stop dumping at the existing sites due to unavailability of land, these sites continue to be functional. [B][URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/pollution-news"]Track the pollution level in your city[/URL][/B] According to latest reports, the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bhalswa-landfill-fire"]Bhalswa landfill fire[/URL] continues to spew toxic gases even as efforts are on to douse it. On Saturday, fire broke in the same landfill site during the early morning hours. Senior officials claimed that experts from IIT Delhi have been roped in to find a workable plan for processing of waste, however, it will take some time. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/61656282/Master.jpg[/IMG] "The frequent fire is because of the excessive release of methane. The sites have been declared exhausted but due to unavailability of land, we have no other option but to dump at these sites," said a senior official from North Delhi Municipal Corporation. The 40-acre Bhalswa landfill site was declared exhausted in 2006 and it has crossed the permissible height by 30 meters at least as per the rules of environment ministry. The story is similar for the other two landfill sites - Okhla and Ghazipur, which were also declared exhausted several years ago. Senior officials claim that processing of waste can be done only if segregation happens at the source. However, small cities like Mysuru, Allepey and Panaji have managed to do away with the concept of landfill sites by installing compost plants on zonal level. "Compost and waste-to-energy plants at zonal level can be installed in Delhi also but we need land, which is not available. Moreover, for small cities it is relatively easy to do away with the concept of landfill due to low population. We are preparing a comprehensive action plan for the same but it will take at least few months," said a senior official from South Corporation. East and South Corporations have signed an agreement with National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for utilisation of garbage from landfill sites for road construction project. "The work will begin from November last week and NHAI will use the waste from landfill sites. About 70% waste will be utilised and then we will turn these sites into green cover as per LG's order," added a senior official from East Corporation.
