Pune: Activist Slams MPCB, PMRDA, and Collector for Ignoring 7 Illegal RMC Plants Operating in Bavdhan
Pune, October 29, 2025: In Pune’s Bavdhan, seven illegal RMC plants continue to operate within residential and defence-sensitive zones, blatantly violating environmental laws and endangering over 10,000 citizens.
Despite 25+ emails, 35 follow-ups, and several letters to the MPCB, PMRDA, and Collector’s Office by the citizens, the authorities have failed to act — issuing hollow notices, making fake site visits, and turning this into a paper-pushing circus.
The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board has become a paper tiger, roaring only on paper while citizens choke on dust and apathy. Such is the extent of complicity that the air pollution van that was posted to measure air pollution. alleged activist.
The RO plants blatantly sprayed water around the van to reduce the readings, but MPCB did nothing.
Adv. Krunnal Gharre, who has received multiple complaints from across Pune, said “It’s not my job to control RMCs. It’s disheartening that citizens have to beg for their rights while authorities behave like the Gandhiji’s Monkeys — except instead of blocking evil, they support it. We now have enough evidence to prove deliberate inaction. A legal suit will be filed.”
