A city-based environmentalist has alleged that land filling is going on at an eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) at Film City in Goregaon near Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), allegedly to construct a set. The spot in question is used for the cultivation of paddy by local tribals. He has written a letter to higher authorities, red-flagging the activity.

Kindly take action against land-filling activity that has commenced in the area of SGNP, the letter said and an excerpt in our report also cited that change of land use is not permissible.
