Social and Environmental Impacts
The city's most established and most risky and unsteady landfill had made news as lethal exhaust from the landfill's consuming locales filled Ahmedabad's air with pollution. Landfills of India are under emergency and sadly, significant specialists are just reminded when the emergency or when some genuine mishap identified with landfills happens. Delhi's 30-year-old Ghazipur landfill's fall on September 1, which took life of two workers, was a debacle holding up to occur as the 80-feet-high refuse mountain couldn’t support the weight of rubbish. Landfills in different metros, for example, Kolkata and Mumbai have since quite a while ago depleted their capacities to take in waste and Pirana in Ahmedabad is another addition to that rundown. Spreading over a territory of 84 hectares, the Pirana landfill has been the city's real dumping yard since 1982. Consistently, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) gathers 4,700 metric huge amounts of strong waste to discard at the landfill. The landfill is described by three 75-feet-high huge hills of trash, each measuring 69 lakh metric tons.

Frequent fires make life miserable
It took almost three days for the Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services (AFES) to control the April 2017 fire. Flames are visit at Pirana and it takes a large number of liters to make fire in control as water enters gradually through the thick junk mountains and the activities have to be halted unless the fire subsides totally. Materials for the most part found in the Pirana landfill are elastic, plastics, synthetics and disposed of parts of cell phones, gadgets and other non-biodegradable things. Further, caught methane gas underneath the refuse dump fans the fire, expanding its force.

The junk molded mountains make the event of flames more continuous and hard to put out. Because of absence of room in the landfill, the refuse isn't spread out uniformly and is dumped close to the current trash mountains. The vapor rising out of the fire are extremely lethal in nature. Methane and carbon dioxide are the primary gases in these lethal vapor. Day by day guests at Pirana, and in addition the inhabitants who have influenced the landfill to site their home for quite a while are the most exceedingly bad sufferers as lethal exhaust as lung and heart infection are normal among Pirana occupants.
