Delhi's Garbage Mountains Deadline May Be Postponed Again, Okhla Landfill Will Not Be Cleaned Even Till July
It seems difficult to meet the deadline to close Okhla Landfill in the capital Delhi by July 2026. There are still 1.9 million metric tons of waste left, and the target is impossible to achieve due to the slow pace of work and new waste being added every day. According to Delhi Municipal Corporation reports, 1,400 to 13,146 metric tonnes of garbage is being removed every day, but it is not enough. The deadline has been changed several times in the past, due to which the problem of mountains of garbage in Delhi continues to persist.
