Debris dumping and encroachment on the Mula-Mutha riverbank
Outcome: Clearing started (about 20% done); follow-up continues
Residents of Kharadi and Chandan Nagar reported that construction debris was still being dumped on the Mula-Mutha riverbank, and the bank encroached upon, years after the National Green Tribunal ordered the debris removed.
Kharadi Resident Welfare wrote to the Municipal Commissioner in August 2024 and kept pressing PMC and the police to act. When clearing finally began, only about a fifth of the work was done before the crews left. Prabha Karape said that protecting natural resources is everyone's responsibility and that residents would take legal action if the issue stays unresolved.
