@JamwalNidhi Thank you for your words, ma’am!

When repeated attempts to reach the concerned officials don’t yield a response, approaching the system through formal channels seemed to be the only way forward. Hope the RTI route will help get the required information and move ahead. 🙌

Despite govt rules allowing only high-calorific, non-recyclable waste for incineration, most of India’s 12 operational waste-to-energy plants burn unsegregated, high-moisture garbage—cutting efficiency while adding to toxic #air. @Subasree_balram reports

Waste-to-energy plants in #Indian cities are worsening #airquality, harming public #health. In Delhi’s Narela-Bawana & Okhla, residents report rising respiratory illnesses, eye irritation linked to toxic  incinerator emissions. @Subasree_balram reports
