While India might be inspired by the Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan, residents of Shivaji Nagar continue to live in obscurity and shocking amounts of garbage and pollution levels. Situated amidst Asia’s largest dumping ground, Shivaji Nagar is a slum which is home to many migrants who have come to the ‘city of dreams’ to make a living. Culture Machine’s digital channel Being Indian has released a documentary ‘Mumbai’s Dirty Problem - Deonar’ on the Deonar dumping ground, Asia’s largest dump which houses over 9,000 metric tonnes of waste and sewage every day and the ill-effects it has on the people who live and work there.
