The East Corporation, which is the civic body responsible for maintaining the landfill site, stated that the incident was "unfortunate." East Corporation Mayor Neema Bhagat, said, "We were making efforts to clean up the landfill site. Flanked with a drain and a canal on either side, the Ghazipur landfill site carries 13 million of the city's waste. Established in 1984, the Ghazipur landfill site is the oldest of the four landfills in the city. There are four landfill sites in the city under the three corporations ----Ghazipur (East) , Okhla (South), Bahlawa (North) and Narela-Bawana (North).
