GURGAON: Environmentalists on Sunday alerted the deputy commissioner about building and demolition (C&D) waste being illegally dumped in the bed of Badshapur jheel, which plays crucial role in preventing waterlogging in the town all the way through monsoon, besides being some of the town's most significant water reservoirs.
According to environmental analyst Chetan Agarwal, who reported the violation, C&D waste is being dumped via contractors employed via builders of more than a few projects along the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR). "A case of dumping of C&D waste was observed today (March 18) at the water body, adjacent to SPR, near Vatika Chowk. This was in addition to mounds of C&D waste dumped there earlier. This water body is among those identified for preservation in the extensive water body mapping exercise recently conducted," wrote Agarwal in his letter to the deputy commissioner.
