Slow poisoning from garbage dump affecting residents
Anyone passing through Dadu Majra cannot miss the unbearable stench. Reason: A garbage dumping site is located in the area and garbage collected from the entire city is brought here. And since it is uncovered, the stench that hits a passerby is unbearable. Heavy rains have further added to the misery as the foul smell increases manifold during rains. The solid waste management plant set up in the area has a capacity of processing around 300 to 350 metric tonnes of garbage per day. However, it will take another three months for the plant to start functioning completely.
