PONDA: Locals at Mestawada Curti demanded today inspection of Mestawada Curti Nullah by Panchayat and pollution control board after locals witnessed several fish nullah were dead and floating in a nullah at Mestawada Curti. Locals suspect chemical waste released into nullah from the Industrial unit at Bethora.
Harish Naik, a local of Mestawada, also filed a complaint with Curti- Khandepar Panchayat demanding action against industries releasing chemicals in Mestawada nullah.
He said such incidents also happened in the past.
“We have also seen in past the chemical is often released in March to the rainy season. This type of dangerous waste released into nullah may pose a serious threat to aquatic animals, fish in a nullah, and plant lives,” he added.
