Delhi LG inaugurates bamboo plantation in landfill
Earlier this month, Delhi LG VK Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated a bamboo plantation drive at the Bhalswa landfill in the national capital.
A green initiative was launched at the 62-metre high landfill this month, with the vision of transforming the reclaimed land into a green zone.
With 200 bamboo plants planted so far, the officials plan to add 54,000 more in the coming months. Bamboo was chosen for its eco-friendly properties, producing 30 per cent more oxygen than most other plants and requiring minimal water. This makes it a sustainable choice for enhancing air quality and curbing pollution in the area.
Bamboo plantations can play a crucial role in managing landfills by stabilising soil, absorbing excess moisture, and reducing erosion, which helps prevent landslides. Its deep root system can also filter contaminants from leachate, mitigating groundwater pollution.
