New Delhi, Oct. 9 -- Of every 100kg of waste generated in Delhi, 44 kg remains unprocessed and ends up at its already oversaturated landfill sites. Even as the Capital's plans to add more garbage processing plants have been marred by delays and deadline extensions.
Official data shows that the waste generation assessment has increased. In its latest report, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has stated that Delhi generates 13,862 Tonnes per day (TPD) of garbage, of which 44.16% (6,131 tonnes) remains unprocessed and ends up at the three landfill sites.P2
