2017 Ghazipur deaths: Delhi court orders relief

Five years after two persons died when fifty tonnes of garbage crashed down the 16-storey-high mountain of waste in east Delhi's Ghazipur, a city court underlined it was "negligent conduct" of the municipal corporation and Delhi government in maintaining the landfill there that eventually caused the two deaths. On Friday, additional district judge Vijay Kumar Jha directed East Delhi Municipal Corporation and Delhi government to pay a compensation of Rs 15 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, respectively, to the families of Gautam and Kumari.
