Following mid-day’s exposé on Dadar beach serving as a godown for road construction materials for over three months, activists and environmentalists have urged immediate action, noting that the site falls under the protected CRZ-1B (Intertidal Coastal Regulation Zone I).
Residents reported on Tuesday that material shifting remains incomplete, and the contractor continues operations on the beach, even deploying additional cutters for processing metal reinforcing bars.
