The 'green warriors versus Mumbai Metro' war shows no sign of abating
The 'green warriors versus Mumbai Metro' war shows no sign of abating. A report in this paper stated how an activist has alleged that the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) is throwing waste generated during the Metro 3 project at a wetland in Kanjurmarg, instead of designated areas outside of Mumbai.
Environmentalists say that the waste is being illegally dumped at the Kanjurmarg dumping yard. The activist turned sleuth and took pictures of an MMRC dumping truck at the Kanjurmarg wetland. He says he has now sent letters to different authorities informing them about the same. We want claims made by environmentalists to be taken seriously and investigated. While the clash between infra projects and activists may be a given, it is important that once a project is off the ground, there is every attempt to ensure minimum damage to the environment.
