An India Today ground report from Sarai village in Haridwar highlights a severe crisis caused by a massive garbage dump that has plagued the area for years. Locals are grappling with deteriorating living conditions, citing foul odours, respiratory issues, and skin diseases linked to the worsening pollution and contaminated water. The environmental degradation has also crippled the local economy. Agricultural lands have been destroyed, forcing many farmers to abandon cultivation.
Villagers are desperately trying to sell their properties to relocate, but plunging land rates and a lack of buyers are leaving them stranded. Commercial activities have similarly stalled, with shopkeepers forced to shut down businesses as visitors avoid the area. Despite repeated complaints to authorities regarding the stalled administrative processes and the urgent need for waste removal, the community continues to suffer.
The report exposes the dire reality of a village struggling against mounting administrative apathy and an escalating environmental and public health disaster.
