The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has sent a notice to the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation commissioner (KDMC) after it noticed untreated sewage being dumped directly into the creek. MPCB has asked KDMC to reply immediately.

According to MPCB officials, there have been strict Supreme Court directions to state governments to initiate criminal and civil proceedings against corporations and industrial units flouting norms regarding effluents.
