*Resurgent Mountains of Delhi*

Years ago I penned the following piece. It still holds relevance. With the
rising resurgent mountains of garbage, hopefully we are relating to the
vision of ‘Resurgent Temples of India’.

Last day, we had a trip to an amazing place in Delhi namely, Okhla Landfill
near Tuglakabad fort, the emerging mountain range of Delhi. It is the
smallest landfill site in Delhi with an area of 50 acres. The beauty of the
region cannot be explained in words.

A young fold hill is emerging from the ground surface; here
geomorphological or geological processes are not responsible for this noble
cause. But the domestic activities at our homes and construction sites are
fulfilling the absence of geo-processes. The site has a very fragile
ecology, we need to conserve it.

Crows flying in the sky, grass and other plants growing around, cows and
dogs moving in search of food- it clearly satisfies the criteria of being a
biodiversity hotspot. This hill started emerging in 1995, but the load is
more than its holding capacity. Everyday around 1150 M.T. is contributed to
increase the height and make it a mountain.
