Dumping of debris at Sanjay Gandhi National Park border goes unchecked

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Concerned about the dumping of debris on a massive scale at the border of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park at Hanuman Tekdi, Kajupada in Dahisar, the Borivali Residents Association complained to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation last week. Civic officials claimed the dumping was stopped immediately after they received the complaint, but residents claimed it was continuing unabated, transforming the area into a mountain of debris and crushing innumerable trees beneath it. “I first noticed the dumping at the start of 2023, during my morning walks,” said Kartik Prajapati, a resident of the area. “The Jain temple was inaugurated in 2021, so what’s the need for continuing with dumping debris,” he wondered.
