Residents of sectors 121, 119, 120 and 122, including adjoining villages, have joined hands against the authority’s decision to dump garbage at a landfill site in Sector 123. The Noida authority had proposed to set up the landfill site in 2013, following which residents had moved the NGT against the move. “Look at the pollution levels around the Ghazipur landfill site in Delhi. We will experience the same polluted air, bacteria and hazardous gases if a landfill site is allowed in Sector 123. Raghunandan Yadav, the senior project engineer of the Noida authority, said, “We will get all requisite approvals for the Sector 123 landfill before starting to dump waste.
