Delhi: Waste to energy to waste

Shakuntala quickly runs towards Tajpur Pahari when she sees a truck arriving with fresh ash. She lives a few hundred metres away from the spot where tonnes of ash generated by the Okhla waste-to-energy plant is sent — and callously dumped in the open.

But a closer look at the children playing cricket there reveals the darker under layer is not soil at all, but packed ash.
