In the first episode, I interviewed Shashank who used to go on Landfill Pilgrimages. Yes, that term intrigued me too. So a few weeks later, I went on my own Landfill Pilgrimage to the Bhalswa landfill. I met Gunraagh there.
Gunraagh Singh Talwar runs an organisation called Better Bhalswa, which works on ground there. He is an architect and possesses a deep understanding of Bhalswa, both scientifically and socially. Let’s go, listen!— He talks about growing up with the dumpsite, the history and politics of Bhalswa and much more.
