What's it like to live next to a mountain made of garbage?

I visited the Ghazipur garbage dump in Delhi and what I saw was shocking. Imagine a mountain of trash as tall as the Qutub Minar! You can see it from 5km away, and the smell is so bad that most people can't stay there for even a few minutes. But here's the surprising part - many families actually live here.

Here's what I learned after talking to the local people:

- Daily Life: Every day, thousands of people, even small children, dig through dangerous trash without any safety gear. They only earn 200 rupees per day.
- Water Crisis: The water quality is so poor that bathing in it causes severe skin rashes and boils. One resident spent 1,200 rupees on medical treatment, so now they prefer buying drinking water at 20 rupees just to bathe.
- Health Problems: Many workers get badly injured but keep working because they need the money to survive. They have no other options.
- Dirty Toilets: Around 1000 families share just 16 toilets. Even worse, these toilets stay dirty for up to 20 days without cleaning.
- Asia's largest chicken market operates right next to this garbage dump!

Through videos like this, I aim to show you parts of our city that most people never see!

This video must be shown to the health minister and higher authorities because it is a serious concern for our country.... It's a great issue for the people living there especially upon their health and lifestyle ... This is an issue which needs sudden attention, please spread it as much as possible 🙏🏻😢

[ajaypandey]

This is the kind of content the internet needs.🙇

[BTCHemp]

The last incident in the video broke me. The effort you and your team put into uncovering this is worth so much more. Here is a little support from Uttarakhand! ❤ Love what you do! The way you immediately defended your team makes you a true leader.

A suggestion:- Please take some security with you next time, or a group of volunteers from your community who are willing to help you in tough coverage like this. You are a gem and you need to be protected.

[aaratihamal]

[SaileshChoyal]

It wasn't easy to watch all this, kudos to you and your team to be able to dare to keep such journalism alive.

[JAYANTHGAMINGYT]

Respect this woman she showing our other dark side reality 😭😭❤❤

[nabeenkumardora]

I got tears in my eye. This video must be an eye opening for every indian. Govt should realize and act on this. This shows how hollow is our system. Thanks

[nameetmanohar]

The risk you are willing to take to make us aware of the real India is commendable. Only if we are aware of dark side can we make changes to be better. Acknowledging that we are far from developed is the first step that will help us truly evolve into a developed nation that we can be proud of, instead of turning a blind eye and excusing such darkness by masking it under "patriotism".

[rac]

I would heartly suggest this girl to please bring 3, 4 bouncers with you when going to such highly sensitive places, its very precious for people like her to be in this society 🙏🙏 she's just a gem 💎

[parthpandey]

It's like watching most grim things of planet at one place. I had to fast forward few scenes as they were extremely disturbing. Standing next to this gruesome reality only proves how dedicated you are in your work. Our choices manifest into something, and this manifestation was hidden for so many reasons and one of that was who would step into this living hell. This is an urgent reminder for all of us to consume necessary and consciously that it generates minimum non bio-degradable waste.

[anyways]

These people made me realise how privileged I'm to be sitting in a house w a washroom, clear water and food not to worry about. I hope God bless them and someone resolves their problems. What can we do from our side??
