Flames reported on Monday night, raising suspicions of deliberate destruction by occupiers to clear landscape

The fire on the Dindoshi Hills reported on Monday
In less than a month, another fire has been reported on Dindoshi Hills, located in the western suburbs adjacent to Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Environmentalist Stalin D has alleged that the fires are being deliberately set by occupiers to destroy vegetation and create a barren landscape.
A local resident told mid-day that on Monday night, between 8.45 pm and 9 pm, flames were spotted on Dindoshi Hill, engulfing the vegetation on the hillock. Stalin D has filed a formal complaint via email to the suburban collector of Mumbai, the chief conservator of forests (SGNP), the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), the environment secretary, the Mumbai police commissioner, and the superintendent of BMC's Gardens Department.
