Phursungi-Urali villagers to again block dumping of garbage

No Dumping from December 25:

The villagers of Phursungi-Urali are on the warpath again. For the third time this year, they have decided to stop municipal corporation vehicles from disposing of the city’s garbage in the open dumping site in their villages.

“We have written to the authorities concerned about our decision to bar dumping from December 25,” said Ranjit Raskar, member of the Phursungi gram panchayat.

The continued shoddy management of garbage by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the seepage of toxic waste at the dumping site are the main reasons for the agitation.
