The BMC has been facing flak for the repeated fires breaking out at Deonar dumping ground. Mehta had recently announced a slew of measures to be taken to contain the fire and prevent a recurrence. One of them was declaring the ground as a 'prohibited area'. Besides, night vision cameras will be installed and security will be stepped up there.
On this backdrop, the meeting happened in the CP's office on Tuesday. The BMC expects help from the police to control access to the ground, as well as joint inspection and protection to the security wall.
