Forum Members got a call from an alert resident today the 12^th of May 2013, a lazy Sunday afternoon, that dumpers were seen entering CRZ behind Prithvi Palace on the Link Road. Immediately some of us reached the scene and saw two empty dumpers and one full one.

They had managed to dump atleast 8 mounds of debris in pristine mangroves right behind Prithvi Palace. There were also some orange flags planted on the dumps.

We informed MHB police station and the Senior Inspector came along with the Beat Marshals. They ordered the dumpers to be taken to the Police station, and recorded our statements.

We asked the Police to file complaints under the stringent Environment Protection Act and inform the Circle Inspector, Revenue department and the Tehsildar to make an FIR.

This is a shocking incident of gross violation of the law, especially since on the 1^st of May we had caught them dumping on the very same area [again note that they wait for public holidays to make their move].

Such blatant disregard for the laws of the land and complaints by tax paying residents point to a deep malaise in the system, and calls for drastic cleansing of the whole land.
