Chembur residents demand reduction of dumping waste at Deonar

MUMBAI: Since 1927, Chembur has been suffering due to unplanned, non-scientific dumping of garbage at the Deonar. Today the already bad situation has worsened with the municipal waste of the entire city "Dumped" here - no Closure, no Landfill, no Processing.

Pollution, ill-health, foul smell and other unbearable elements have remained unresolved for almost a century and the BMC has held contracted agencies responsible for this, accusing them of inefficiency and incompetence.

Now, Deonar dumping ground, about 85 years old, which should have been shut down years back, still continues to be the only place where the BMC dumps the city's waste. The dumping area has increased from 110 to 130 hectares. Worse still, the BMC has sought permission from the Airports Authority of India to raise the height of the dumping ground from 35 mts to 50 mts - as high as a 16 storey building.

As per the agreement between the BMC and the contracted agencies, waste of 2000 Tons Per Day should be sent to Deonar, 4000 to Kanjurmarg and 500 to the Mulund dumping ground. This never happened; Deonar receives three times the quantity. Chembur residents are demanding that the BMC send only 2000 TPD of municipal waste to Deonar dumping ground. This will help in proper waste management, a landfill, proper closure and processing.
