&lt;em&gt;GURUGRAM: &lt;/em&gt;The dumping of thousands of used bottles has created a giant mound of plastic waste on the fringes of the Basai wetland in Gurugram, not far from the controversial plant to treat construction and demolition waste that has drawn strong protests from environmental activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This plastic waste mound, say local residents, is a recent development. Next to it is a privately run plastic compressing and recycling unit that has also come up at the site recently. &amp;ldquo;Earlier, only C&amp;amp;D (construction and demolition) waste was being dumped here by authorities. But we have been witnessing dumping of plastic waste here for the past two-three weeks. The plastic waste flows down a drain to the wetland,&amp;rdquo; said Mahavir, a local resident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely 200 metres from this spot is the Basai wetland where a birder spotted a black-necked stork with the ring that holds the cap of a plastic bottle around its beak. The stork, as a result, is unable to part its beak. As word spread and the forest and wildlife department on Friday began a search for the bird, environmental activists and birders sought an immediate ban on dumping of all kinds of waste near Basai. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pankaj Gupta of the Delhi Bird Foundation blamed MCG for ruining the wetland. In May 2017, MCG laid the foundation of the city&amp;rsquo;s first C&amp;amp;D waste treatment plant in Basai. &amp;ldquo;The corporation is gradually filling up the wetland and dumping of waste is changing its very nature. Waste dumping is hazardous for winged creatures and a plastic ring around the beak of an endangered bird shows that many birds are at risk,&amp;rdquo; Gupta said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mixed waste is being dumped at the site both by official agencies and private players, activists and local residents said. Over 300 species of birds &amp;ndash; including the black-necked stork, painted stork, ruddy shelduck, common pochard, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, northern pintail, plovers, isabelline shrike, tickell&amp;rsquo;s blue flycatcher, green-winged teal, yellow-legged quail and grasshopper warbler &amp;mdash; are spotted at the Basai wetland every year. &lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;GURUGRAM: &lt;/em&gt;The dumping of thousands of used bottles has created a giant mound of plastic waste on the fringes of the Basai wetland in Gurugram, not far from the controversial plant to treat construction and demolition waste that has drawn strong protests from environmental activists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This plastic waste mound, say local residents, is a recent development. Next to it is a privately run plastic compressing and recycling unit that has also come up at the site recently. &amp;ldquo;Earlier, only C&amp;amp;D (construction and demolition) waste was being dumped here by authorities. But we have been witnessing dumping of plastic waste here for the past two-three weeks. The plastic waste flows down a drain to the wetland,&amp;rdquo; said Mahavir, a local resident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barely 200 metres from this spot is the Basai wetland where a birder spotted a black-necked stork with the ring that holds the cap of a plastic bottle around its beak. The stork, as a result, is unable to part its beak. As word spread and the forest and wildlife department on Friday began a search for the bird, environmental activists and birders sought an immediate ban on dumping of all kinds of waste near Basai. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pankaj Gupta of the Delhi Bird Foundation blamed MCG for ruining the wetland. In May 2017, MCG laid the foundation of the city&amp;rsquo;s first C&amp;amp;D waste treatment plant in Basai. &amp;ldquo;The corporation is gradually filling up the wetland and dumping of waste is changing its very nature. Waste dumping is hazardous for winged creatures and a plastic ring around the beak of an endangered bird shows that many birds are at risk,&amp;rdquo; Gupta said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mixed waste is being dumped at the site both by official agencies and private players, activists and local residents said. Over 300 species of birds &amp;ndash; including the black-necked stork, painted stork, ruddy shelduck, common pochard, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, northern pintail, plovers, isabelline shrike, tickell&amp;rsquo;s blue flycatcher, green-winged teal, yellow-legged quail and grasshopper warbler &amp;mdash; are spotted at the Basai wetland every year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/plastic-bomb-at-gurgaon-wetland/articleshow/64514402.cms&quot; title=&quot;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/plastic-bomb-at-gurgaon-wetland/articleshow/64514402.cms&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;GURUGRAM: &lt;/em&gt;The dumping of thousands of used bottles has created a giant mound of plastic waste on the fringes of the Basai wetland in Gurugram, not far from the controversial plant to treat construction and demolition waste that has drawn strong protests from environmental activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This plastic waste mound, say local residents, is a recent development. Next to it is a privately run plastic compressing and recycling unit that has also come up at the site recently. &amp;ldquo;Earlier, only C&amp;amp;D (construction and demolition) waste was being dumped here by authorities. But we have been witnessing dumping of plastic waste here for the past two-three weeks. The plastic waste flows down a drain to the wetland,&amp;rdquo; said Mahavir, a local resident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Barely 200 metres from this spot is the Basai wetland where a birder spotted a black-necked stork with the ring that holds the cap of a plastic bottle around its beak. The stork, as a result, is unable to part its beak. As word spread and the forest and wildlife department on Friday began a search for the bird, environmental activists and birders sought an immediate ban on dumping of all kinds of waste near Basai. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pankaj Gupta of the Delhi Bird Foundation blamed MCG for ruining the wetland. In May 2017, MCG laid the foundation of the city&amp;rsquo;s first C&amp;amp;D waste treatment plant in Basai. &amp;ldquo;The corporation is gradually filling up the wetland and dumping of waste is changing its very nature. Waste dumping is hazardous for winged creatures and a plastic ring around the beak of an endangered bird shows that many birds are at risk,&amp;rdquo; Gupta said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mixed waste is being dumped at the site both by official agencies and private players, activists and local residents said. Over 300 species of birds &amp;ndash; including the black-necked stork, painted stork, ruddy shelduck, common pochard, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, northern pintail, plovers, isabelline shrike, tickell&amp;rsquo;s blue flycatcher, green-winged teal, yellow-legged quail and grasshopper warbler &amp;mdash; are spotted at the Basai wetland every year. &lt;br /&gt;

In May 2017, MCG laid the foundation of the city&rsquo;s first C&amp;D waste treatment plant in Basai. &ldquo;The corporation is gradually filling up the wetland and dumping of waste is changing its very nature. Waste dumping is hazardous for winged creatures and a plastic ring around the beak of an endangered bird shows that many birds are at risk,&rdquo; Gupta said.<br />
<br />
Mixed waste is being dumped at the site both by official agencies and private players, activists and local residents said. Over 300 species of birds &ndash; including the black-necked stork, painted stork, ruddy shelduck, common pochard, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, northern pintail, plovers, isabelline shrike, tickell&rsquo;s blue flycatcher, green-winged teal, yellow-legged quail and grasshopper warbler &mdash; are spotted at the Basai wetland every year. <br />

Plastic bomb at Gurugram wetland -Shilpy Arora

-The Times of India GURUGRAM: The dumping of thousands of used bottles has created a giant mound of plastic waste on the fringes of the Basai wetland in Gurugram, not far from the controversial plant to treat construction and demolition waste that has drawn strong protests from environmental activists. This plastic waste mound, say local residents, is a recent development. Next to it is a privately run plastic compressing and recycling unit that has also come up at the site recently. “Earlier, only C&D (construction and demolition) waste was being dumped here by authorities. But we have been witnessing dumping of plastic waste here for the past two-three weeks. The plastic waste flows down a drain to the wetland,” said Mahavir, a local resident. Barely 200 metres from this spot is the Basai wetland where a birder spotted a black-necked stork with the ring that holds the cap of a plastic bottle around its beak. The stork, as a result, is unable to part its beak. As word spread and the forest and wildlife department on Friday began a search for the bird, environmental activists and birders sought an immediate ban on dumping of all kinds of waste near Basai. Pankaj Gupta of the Delhi Bird Foundation blamed MCG for ruining the wetland. In May 2017, MCG laid the foundation of the city’s first C&D waste treatment plant in Basai. “The corporation is gradually filling up the wetland and dumping of waste is changing its very nature. Waste dumping is hazardous for winged creatures and a plastic ring around the beak of an endangered bird shows that many birds are at risk,” Gupta said. Mixed waste is being dumped at the site both by official agencies and private players, activists and local residents said. Over 300 species of birds – including the black-necked stork, painted stork, ruddy shelduck, common pochard, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, northern pintail, plovers, isabelline shrike, tickell’s blue flycatcher, green-winged teal, yellow-legged quail and grasshopper warbler — are spotted at the Basai wetland every year.
