Joint Drive Targets Illegal Dumping
The action was carried out as part of a joint drive involving CIDCO's vigilance and engineering departments, security personnel and Navi Mumbai traffic police, aimed at preventing unauthorised dumping of construction debris on vacant plots under CIDCO's jurisdiction.
CIDCO Chief Vigilance Officer Suresh Mengde said the corporation would continue to take action against those using its vacant land as dumping grounds.
"Unauthorised dumping of debris not only damages CIDCO's land but can also pose risks to public health and the environment. We are conducting joint checks with the police and our field teams and will take action against vehicles found transporting debris for illegal dumping," Mengde said.
