Outrage is brewing in Delhi’s political circles as AAP exposes what it calls a sinister scheme to dump Bhalswa landfill garbage in rural villages. Saurabh Bharadwaj, AAP’s Delhi convener, fingered CM Rekha Gupta for orchestrating the mass relocation of waste via thousands of trucks to empty rural plots.
A compelling social media video captures the operation in Karala village, where loads of plastic waste, broken glass, polythene, and other perils are being discarded. Bharadwaj lambasted the duplicity: ‘Promises to erase landfill mountains ring hollow as the government merely displaces the problem to rural Delhi, inviting calamity.’
He connected the dots to MCD’s long history of failure, building three enormous waste piles over 15 years, now threatening to engulf the NCR in toxicity. Villages such as Rani Khera, Rasoolpur, Sultanpur, Puth, and others stand vulnerable to air toxics, soil degradation, and health crises that could label Delhi as a cancer epicenter.
AAP activists on ground warn of impending garbage mountains mirroring Bhalswa’s horror. The party presses the CM for urgent answers and protective measures, emphasizing that true governance demands resolving root causes, not passing the buck.
Amid Delhi’s escalating waste emergency, this revelation spotlights the imperative for unified action—enhanced recycling, stricter enforcement, and community involvement—to reclaim the capital’s livable promise for all residents.
