Another massive garbage fire today at an open dumping site near

28.61527° N, 77.48956° E.
Someone “managing” this area appears to believe that setting large open dumps of waste on fire is an acceptable way to get rid of it.
The result: severe air pollution -toxic smoke filled with carcinogens from burning plastic and mixed waste, directly endangering public health.

What are citizens supposed to do when this keeps happening repeatedly?
Civil society volunteers are losing sleep and giving their personal time every single day to report these horrific pollution episodes. One such relentless volunteer is
@VikalRajeev - keeping vigil, recording live footage, alerting police, pressing authorities into action to curb the smoke and hoping an official enquiry is finally initiated.
We fervently request CAQM to review the repeated waste-burning complaints emerging from Noida, Greater Noida and Dadri, and help fix accountability at the officer level.
We have repeatedly conveyed to the Commission for Air Quality Management that civil society members are willing to sit with district authorities and share ground realities. Someone within the administration needs to take charge and urgently combat rampant waste burning.
Temperatures are already peaking, yet large-scale waste burning continues despite GRAP Stage I measures being in force.
