 The Deonar dumping ground which spans 311 acres, has been operational since 1927, serving as Mumbai’s primary landfill. At present, it houses approximately 20 million metric tonnes (MT) of solid waste. Each day, the city generates around 6,500 to 7,000 MT of waste, with roughly 600 to 700 MT—about 10 per cent — directed to Deonar.: The toxic gases, foul air, and particulate matter permeating the area have put residents — mostly from lower income families — at an increased risk of health issues.

the Maharashtra government made a controversial cabinet decision on October 14, allocating a 124-acre portion of the dumping ground to the Adani Group, for housing units as part of the proposed Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP).

A LEGACY THAT IS BEST FORGOTTEN Friday 18 October 2024 https://avayshukla.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-legacy-that-is-best-forgotten.html?m=1

Never before had the nation nurtured such high expectations and vested so much hope in an heir apparent to the Chief Justice's chair. 

Justice Chandrachud had many opportunities to do the right thing, to restore the autonomy of institutions (appointment of Election Commissioners), to reign in rampaging state governments (the bulldozers of U.P., Nuh and Uttarakhand), to prevent the illegal surveillance of citizens (the Pegasus "inquiry" where the Union govt. dared to tell him that it would not cooperate!), the restoration of statehood (in Jammu and Kashmir), to restore legitimately elected governments brought down by totally illegal means (Maharashtra), to restore faith and credibility in the electoral process (the repeated petitions to return to paper ballots or do a hundred percent verification and matching of VVPATS), to question an unaccountable Election Commission on its dubious actions and decisions ( delay in uploading voter counts, non-issue of Forms 17C, mismatch in the votes cast and votes counted, failure to take action under the Model Code of Conduct against high functionaries of the government).                                                                                                                                                   Perhaps the worst of all was that, under his Lordship's watch, thousands of social activists, journalists. dissenters, academics continue to languish in jails without a trial or even bail.

He watched in silence the creeping politicisation of some of the High Courts, their judges openly expressing allegiance to religions, the religious biases in their judgments, judges joining political parties and even standing for elections immediately after retiring, retired judges attending religious conclaves.
