Residents have been dealing with the stench from the Kanjurmarg dumping ground for years

It is every breath you take, for residents of eastern suburbs, who have been complaining of foul stench from the Kanjurmarg dump yard. A report in this paper detailed how residents have been unable to sleep because of the overpowering odour.
