Mumbai Landfills Safety Audit

planned

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is launching a week-long safety audit of Mumbai's landfills, waste treatment facilities, and solid waste management project sites. The audit will assess the heights of legacy waste mounds, identify unstable excavation zones, and audit the structural stability of facilities in and around landfill cells. It will cover active dumping grounds at Kanjurmarg and Deonar, and the closed landfill at Mulund where bio-mining work is ongoing. The audit aims to ensure safe operations and mitigate risks such as landfill collapse, slope failure, fire incidents, and excavation failures.
