Kharghar residents' dream to have a cycle track around two ponds might have been dashed, a report stated in this paper. Illegal land-filling work at one of the sites has been blamed for this. Some residents had complained about debris being dumped at one of the ponds, and CIDCO had moved to barricade the area. Locals recently spotted similar activities at the second pond and informed CIDCO. However, no action has been taken yet.'

The pond behind Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering in the area is being slowly but surely filled with debris. First came the rigmarole dismissing allegations, then feigning ignorance, attributing blame to different agencies and finally promising action, including threats to file a police complaint.
