Bhalswa Landfill to be Eliminated in Two Years - LG
In an interaction with the media, the Lieutenant Governor stated that significant progress has been made in clearing the landfill site over the past two years through hard work.

In the coming months, people traveling on the highway will see a green area instead of a mountain of garbage.
BJP Government Achieves What Previous Governments Could Not
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta attributed the entire success of this initiative to the Lieutenant Governor. She stated that previous governments only talked but did not act. With the help of the central government, the waste is being properly utilized and used for land leveling. Millions of tons of garbage have been removed, and the area has been restructured.
Monthly Inspections of Landfill Sites
The Chief Minister stated that the work will be reviewed monthly, and inspections will be conducted at the three main landfill sites. Within a year, the height of these garbage mountains will be reduced, and they will be transformed into green spaces. She emphasized that making Delhi clean and beautiful is the government's goal, and it will be fulfilled with complete responsibility.
