Plastic bags are still the staple for carrying vegetables
It’s like living in hell.India is to be the focus of World Environment Day on
Tuesday, but it is far from the minds of the long-suffering inhabitants of
Taimur Nagar.Taimur Nagar is one of many slums in Delhi and countless other
Indian cities struggling to cope with waste, particularly the plastic pollution
that is the main theme of World Environment Day.
When I came here 40 years ago
the drain had clean water.The city banned plastic bags in 2009 and later
expanded it to all plastic packaging and single-use disposable plastic. (Photo:

Factory New Delhi: A sea of plastic spreads through the New Delhi slum of
Taimur Nagar, a symbol of the grime and waste that makes the Indian capital one
of the world’s most polluted cities.
It’s completely choked with plastic,†said
Bhola Ram, shaking his head.But the ban is rarely enforced.But a sweeping look
over Taimur Nagar underlines the challenges the country faces with its waste.6
million tonnes of plastic waste annually, according to government figures, with
Delhi among the worst cities for plastic consumption.Stray dogs, goats and cows
munch the plastic waste as toddlers run around trying to retrieve footballs and
water bottles.Taimur Nagar’s residents know little of the hazards of
non-biodegradable plastic to the water supply and the animals sat around.
Conditions were not always not so bad.Used to the filth, residents say they are
resigned to their fate.India is to organise beach cleanups, an exhibition of
green technology and art installations — symbols of its growing economic clout.
We are poor and we have no choice but to live and die here,†said Shreepal
Singh, a waste dealer. One engineer, Rajagopalan Vasudevan, has developed a
process where plastic waste is shredded up and used in new roads.India generates
around 5. You can see there is plastic garbage everywhere.. But as more and more
people started living here, things have gone worse,†said Saroj Sharma, a mother
of three.
Plastic bags are still the staple for carrying vegetables, fruit, meat
and restaurant takeaways.The plastic bottles, bags, food wrappers and other
detritus have gushed out of a drain that ends in the shanty, leaving stinking
sewer water clogging the roads. Schoolgirls walk past a sewage drain canal full
of garbage in Taimur Nagar slum area in New Delhi."You can see how bad the
conditions are here.Stray dogs, goats and cows munch the plastic waste as
toddlers run around trying to retrieve footballs and water bottles. The area was
not so dirty

A fire watch security guard is not just a simple security guard. In fact, they are always on double duty. Mainly they serve as security personnel but are also responsible for protecting people from unwanted fires.
