Officials have been on site since Thursday, trying to repair the leak and control the pressure outside the Bisasar Road Landfill Site.Environmental activist Desmond D'sa says he's been getting calls from concerned residents about the methane gas leak.D'sa says health officials have also told him that they tried to evacuate people, but those in the local informal settlements refused to leave.
"This is a problem with our authorities, they are not educating the communities, the are not [seeing] the risk that people live under, there is not right of way. "Pipelines are not marked where people live and so the question is are they waiting for a disaster to happen before they act in the interest of society as whole and no matter who the people are they should be notifying them."
