Better Bhalswa
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE ALL YOUR WASTE GOES?
TO THE NORTH OF DELHI, AT BHALSWA,
LIES A MAMMOTH DUMPSITE
IT IS A WASTE SINK FOR OVER
50 PERCENT OF DELHI'S TRASH
BHALSWA MIGHT BE KNOWN FOR ITS TRASH, BUT IT ISN'T DEVOID OF LIFE.
AN UNSEEN POPULATION AT BHALSWA IS PIVOTAL TO DELHI'S CIRCULAR ECONOMY
HAVING MIGRATED FROM BENGAL OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES, THEY HAVE STRUGGLED TO FIND A PLACE IN THE CITY
FROM LANGUAGE TO JOBS, THEY HAVE HAD TO ADAPT TO A NEW LIFE, LEAVING THEIR HOMES AND PEOPLE BEHIND
A PLACE CALLED HOME LOOKS INTO THE LIVES OF THE WASTE PICKER BASTI AT BHALSWA, HIGHLIGHTING FEMALE PERSPECTIVES, A GROUP LARGELY UNSEEN AND UNHEARD IN THE CITY
