Over the past few days more than 100 truck loads of mud was dumped illegally in a low lying paddy field opposite to the new District Collector Hospital. The filling began more than three months ago with the dumping of construction debris. UGF had filed a complaint then but no action was taken because the SGPDA couldnt find who had done the filling. This time however, Vijay Sardesai admitted to media reporters that he had done the filling to create a vegetable market. The report appeared on local newspapers UGF slams Vijays illegal actions of filling mud and damaging the paddy fields. The construction of vegetable market next to the highway and near the district hospital junction will create severe traffic problems and pose a threat to life. UGF has written to the SGPDA that an FIR be filed under section 17A of TCP Act against Vijay and his contractor.
