Bhiwandi Police Book Four for Illegally Dumping Chemical Waste in Kambe Nullah

The Nizampura police have registered a case against four persons, including a tanker driver, for allegedly discharging foul-smelling black chemical waste into an open nullah at Kambe in Bhiwandi.

According to the police complaint, the incident took place on Wednesday at around 2.30 am at a nullah situated near the Kumarpada Compound on the Bhiwandi-Kambe Road. The accused allegedly discharged the toxic waste directly from a tanker into the public drain without obtaining the mandatory permissions or utilising an authorised facility for safe disposal.

The tanker driver has been identified as 30-year-old Laxman Shyamlal Chavan. Authorities stated that Chavan allegedly emptied the chemical into the open waterway instead of following authorised disposal mechanisms, resulting in a public nuisance and a severe potential health hazard for the surrounding locality.

Following the complaint, the Nizampura police booked Chavan along with three other individuals identified as Shah Nawaz Siraj Ahmed Momin, Premnath Bagal, and Jayram Jaiswal in connection with the illegal dumping.

The accused have been booked for allegedly creating a danger to the public and causing a public nuisance through the unauthorised and illegal disposal of chemical waste in the area.
