OKHLA WASTE TO ENERGY PLANT

'My lungs will die before me': Delhi waste-to-energy plant has ruined our lives, say residents

The WTE plant, operational since Jan 2012, has allegedly been releasing toxins all these years and it has been officially reprimanded for flouting pollution norms, yet has managed to increase its incinerating capacity. There is a plan now to raise power generation from 23MW to 40MW while burning more garbage, leaving the residents counting on the Supreme Court to deliver them from what they say is the bane of their lives.
