On June 30, at 11.30 am, Assistant Security Officer Vijay Bhagoji Wagh and his team discovered six to seven dumper loads of waste on government land adjacent to the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR).
Following a site verification by Aarey Milk Colony's Chief Executive Officer Shrikant Shirpurkar and a formal panchnama with two independent witnesses, the administration ordered strict legal action.
