India's rising mountains of trash

印媒：印度堆积成山的垃圾

NEW DELHI: At a time when the government is pushing the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the fire at Delhi's largest landfill site only highlights the magnitude of India's garbage problem. Bhalswa -- the landfill that caught fire -- had crossed the permissible height by at least 30 meters as per the norms laid by environment ministry.

新德里：当政府推行清洁印度的行动时，德里最大垃圾填埋场的火灾只凸显了印度垃圾问题的严重程度。Bhalswa，失火的填埋场，超过了环境部规定的高度，达到了至少30米以上。

In the last two decades, Indian cities have seen a rising tide of waste that's disposed of in open dumps. Such landfills, often on fire, are only aggravating the pollution problem, contaminating both air and groundwater.
For example, Bengaluru produced 200 tonnes of garbage a day in 2000, and fifteen years later, the quantity rose to 3,700 tonnes, which is a 1,750 per cent increase.

过去20年里，印度城市已经处理了大幅增加的垃圾。经常着火的垃圾填埋场只会加重污染问题，污染空气和地下水。

例如，2000年时，孟加拉邦每天产生200吨垃圾，15年后，这个数字上升到了3700吨。增加了1750%、

Delhi has also witnessed an unprecedented growth in garbage produced daily, going from 400 tonnes a day in 2000 to 8,700 tonnes a day in 2015 -- a rise of 2,075 per cent.

德里的垃圾日产量也出现了前所未有的增长，从2000年每天400吨增加到了2015年每天8700吨，增长了2075%。

Here is TOI's analysis of Central Pollution Control Board's data on garbage produced in major Indian cities.

India is choking in all possible ways. Drainage systems were laid down in British era and no upgrades since then. With every rain cities get flooded. Waste management simply not exsts. India has to learn from how it is done in the megacities there.

印度正以各种方式让人失望。英国时期铺设的排水系统从那时起就没升级。每次下雨，城市就要被淹没。废物管理根本不存在。印度必须向学习在大城市的做法。
