The monsoon is finally here in its full glory and, not surprisingly, people are flocking to nearby hotspots across the state to make the most of the pleasant weather. However, about 93 km away from Mumbai, villagers in Umroli and Ashane are literally treading through rough waters as glass shards from broken booze bottles float down to their farmlands from the Bhivpuri waterfall.

The villages and the waterfall are bearing the brunt of irresponsible revelry. Tourists sneak in liquor to these places and discard the empty bottles around the scenic waterfall. The glass shards, swept into farmlands by the waterfall, result in cuts and bruises and many local farmers have been forced to abandon their land.
