India's tallest rubbish mountain in Delhi is set to rise higher than Taj Mahal by 2020.

&lt;p id='p_1' style='font-weight: 400;'&gt;Ghazipur dump yard is over 65 metres high and is bigger than 40 football pitches, receiving about 2,000 tonnes of garbage every single day. It was&amp;nbsp;opened in 1984 and reached its capacity in 2002 when it should have been closed, but&amp;nbsp;with no&amp;nbsp;alternate waste management system, it grows alarmingly tall each day. The need of the hour is&amp;nbsp;strong laws on waste segregation and recycling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
