Kolkata will become a GAS CHAMBER very soon if EKW is collapsed.
Municipal Solid waste dump yard can raise vertically like hill as it is happening in Dhapa dump yard. But MLW( liquid) dumping can’t rise vertically and will spread horizontally when filled to its capacity. In few decades major part of the EKW will become greater Dhapa and the problem of MSW dumping will be solved temporarily This will be at the cost of MLW disposal wet land and it will make the city roads filled with MLW when the drain manholes will overflow making the city not fit for living with associated spread of diseases .
