26 Nov 2021 06:54 PM

An illegal scrap yard, in Colvale, that has allegedly been causing pollution and obstruction of nearby areas is finally being demolished. The Panchayat had received the memorandum ordering action to be taken against the scrap yard from the government 2 years ago. They have issued 7-8 notices to those running the yard and have finally come to demolish it.



People bring in scrap from everywhere and store it here for resale purposes, says Nitin Colvalkar, Sarpanch of Colvale Panchayat. The yard has become a nuisance to the village having raised pollution levels and obstructing nearby areas, he said.

The panchayat has warned that it will take action against such illegal scrap yards as well as people involved.
