| Abstract: | Waste is often considered a great nuisance – but it can also be a source of livelihoods and sustenance in its own right. A big thorn in Guwahati’s side is its municipal waste, and the public dialogue over its Boragaon landfill is currently caught between urban development and ecological and public health. Yet there exists a third group with its own interests that both civil society and policymakers need to acknowledge and plan for. |
