Overflowing garbage pile in India's capital city, in Delhi

From the archive record

A large pile of mixed household waste has accumulated along a roadside in Chhatarpur, Delhi. The garbage includes plastic bags, wrappers, cardboard, paper, plant waste and other discarded material, with several filled garbage sacks lying beside the pile. A sanitation worker in a blue shirt and trousers is seen managing the waste and holding open a large collection sack. A small white commercial vehicle is parked behind the garbage, while a pedestrian walks along the roadside. A small dog is also visible near the waste pile, with a stone wall and trees forming the background.
