Gurugram: Waste processing halts at Bandhwari landfill amid admin delays

Hindustan Times  

Operations at the Bandhwari landfill, which handles solid waste from Gurugram and Faridabad, have been suspended for over a month due to delays in finalising new contracts, officials said. The Bandhwari landfill, which processes around 2,000 metric tonnes of waste daily and has accumulated 2.5 million metric tonnes of legacy waste, has created a 30-metre-high mound, locals alleged. “Delays in renewing tenders and resuming operations at the Bandhwari landfill reflect poor planning and governance,” said Gurugram-based environmentalist Vaishali Rana. “Such lapses exacerbate environmental hazards, impacting both public health and ecological balance in the region.” Similarly, Gurugram-based conservationist conservationist Sunil Harsana warned of serious repercussions, stating, “With fresh waste being dumped daily and no processing in place, the accumulation will worsen.
