Indiscriminate Plastic
Dumping between Mulund and Thane
Nasser Lalljee
In
between the Thane Octroi Check Post, and the Mulund
Toll Plaza on the Eastern Express Highway, there is
an extensive build up of empty Plastic bags, which seems
to be a definite pattern of dumping over a period of
time. The Asst. Municipal Commissioner T Ward, B R Marathe
was frank enough to admit, “I do not know about
the build up thought there is a dumping area further
up the land.” He has asked the Asst. head Supervisor
Mr. Ghodke for a report. Somehow there are a number
of small tree planted among the plastic rubbish, to
which there a board stating “Mini Forest”
at the entrance to Hari Om Nagar. One wonders how this
dump a me to be, and more so , how the municipal authorities
are blissfully unaware of it.
