Yet once again, Delhi is suffering and burning as massive fire broke out in Ghazipur landfill site in east Delhi on Sunday.

Officials from the Delhi Fire Services have attributed the fire to gas generated in the dumping yard and confirmed that no casualties have been reported.

Officials attributed the fire to hot and dry weather conditions. Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the dumping yard as firefighters toiled to bring the flames under control.

Residents residing near the national capital's oldest and largest landfill have reported experiencing throat irritation and coughing due to the smoke. One resident noted that this isn't the first instance of such a problem, as they've been experiencing it since the 1990s.

Another local resident expressed: "I live here and the smoke is causing discomfort to the eyes… We are also having difficulties in breathing. The entire colony is disturbed. Last time, when the landfill caught fire, there were casualties…"

While another resident complained that the administration has taken no action and urged the government to intervene in addressing the issue.

Addressing the situation on social media platform X, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi stated, "As per instructions, all officers are present on the spot and everything is under control."
