PONDA: A local resident has been accused of polluting the fresh water stream at Battone-Dharbandora by discharging waste from the toilet directly in the stream.
Villagers have claimed that the water from the stream that passes through the village of Dharbandora is used by locals for farming and other daily chores.
Recently, some youth from the locality noticed a pipe and suspected it to be from a nearby toilet. The youth then alerted local residents and a complaint was filed. “We saw it few days back and suspected it to be of the toilet,” said Avinash Mairekar.
“This is not acceptable. There is plenty of land and the owner should have constructed a tank for disposal”, added Janardhan Vengi Naik.
