The dirtiest capital in the world: the population is more than 20 million, the garbage is stinky, and 500,000 people are picking up the waste.
The capital is a symbol of the country, but the Indian capital, New Delhi, is known as the "world's dirtiest capital."
With a population of more than 22 million, New Delhi produces far more garbage every day than it does. The garbage mountains that have been accumulated for a long time are all more than ten meters high and cover an area of more than ten acres.
These garbage mountains are the life of 500,000 scavengers (including many children). They "paste" the garbage from the garbage every day.

In addition to scavengers, the garbage mountain is also covered with scavengers, flies, locusts, eagle, vultures and crickets everywhere, they are not afraid of people.
The most common way for Indians to dispose of waste is to pour it into the river or burn it. The Yamuna River is the “most loved” garbage disposal site in New Delhi. There is no fish in the river, it is black like ink, and it also gives off a strong rotten smell.
Severe environmental pollution has caused serious haze. According to relevant data, 3,000 people in New Delhi die each year from air pollution. In the worst case, an average of one person per hour is caused by smog.
