Landfills are highly hazardous to the environment. There is always wet waste that is rotting, polluting the groundwater and soil, methane gas is coming out because of the decomposition of the wet waste, which is one of the most potent greenhouse gases. Secondly, the gas is also a part of whole the climate change thing and lastly there is always a risk of diseases as there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes which breed on this waste. Currently, at the Ghazipur landfill we have all kind of waste – be it sanitary waste, covid masks, battery or e-waste. The landfill is basically a dumpsite, which gets each and everything that the city uses. Not just environment, it is very harmful for the people living nearby. Daily inhalation of all the toxic fumes coming out of the landfill is very dangerous. You can imagine, when you pass by the landfill or the garbage dump you close your mouth because the smell is just unbearable. Imagine, the life of people who work in the landfill. They have constant headaches, nausea, vomits, bronchitis, spinal problem, all this is part of their daily life. People are living all around the landfills, this in itself is a big no no.

In the eastern UP district of Ghazipur, for instance, near Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Parliamentary constituency of Varanasi and where bodies were found floating on the Ganga, around 19,700 people died between 1 July 2020 and 31 March 2021, compared to 1,600 over the same time period in 2019-20, an increase of 1,136%. That is 18,000 excess deaths compared to the same period in 2019-20 and 197 times more than the officially reported Covid-19 toll, which was 92. As in other states, UP’s Civil Registration System (CRS) is supposed to register all births and deaths. But as the Registrar General of India’s (RGI) 2019 report noted that UP registered 63.3% of all estimated deaths. In other words, around 4 of every 10 deaths in UP are not counted, and nearly 31% are registered anytime after a month from death.
