Illegal dumping on PMC and private land had turned several spots in Kharadi, including the area around EON IT Park, into smoking garbage sites, putting residents' health at risk.

Kharadi Resident Welfare (KRW), led by Prabha Karape, held a one-hour protest to draw the administration's attention and demand that dumping be stopped and cleared.
