While environment lovers have been trying to protect the famous DPS lake in Navi Mumbai, a city-based environmentalist has alleged that the water body—a flamingo and wader bird habitat—is being deliberately poisoned. 

Environmentalist Stalin D has written a letter to the principal secretary of the environment department, Mangrove Cell, round officer of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), APCCF Wildlife West, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation commissioner and the environment cell of CIDCO.
