Bhopal: Cricketer-turned-Member of Parliament Gautam Gambhir, the East Delhi MP of the BJP has invited Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) Commissioner Ashish Singh to help out with his expertise in clearing the Gazipur landfill site which has been in the news for being the tallest garbage mountain in the country.
Notably, Indore city has bagged the status of cleanest city of the country two times in a row. The IMC officials would soon be seen to extend a helping hand to New Delhi in solving a garbage mess in Gazipur area of East Delhi. Taking up the area of more than 40 football pitches, Ghazipur rises by nearly 10 metres per year with no end in sight to its reeking growth. According to official records, it was already more than 65 metres (213 feet) high this year.
Concerned about safety of the passing jets, the Supreme Court last year had ordered installation of alert lights on the dumping site to caution passing jets. However, Gambhir’s invitation to IMC commissioner has a similar background attached to the story.
