Acting against alleged landfilling in mangroves and wetlands of Uran, environment activists have sent an email complaining to the High Court-appointed Mangrove Protection and Conservation Committee (MPCC). The complainants have claimed that land mafia has grabbed 20 acres of eco-sensitive area.

The complaint claims that truck drivers ran away when questioned by residents. Nandkumar Pawar, head, Shri Ekvira Aai Pratishtan, said, "This is obviously yet another illegal landfill, apparently for an infrastructure project."
