Barely 100 metres from the Ghazipur Landfill, there is a colony of rag pickers. They earn their livelihood by collecting trash from the garbage mountain every day and don’t mind living in unhygienic condition. Suhana Begum and his family lives in a makeshift home, located merely 200 metres from the garbage mountain in Ghazipur for a long time. However, in these years, he has not seen any improvement in the condition of this place, except for the increasing height of the garbage mountain. Even under these challenging circumstances, these rag go out to the garbage mountain daily to collect waste.
