Closure of the Deonar dumping ground is turning out to be tougher than the BMC thought as workers involved are being heckled, threatened and even beaten up by anti-social elements at the site. Adding insult to injury is the refusal by the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) to provide jawans to patrol the ground.
The civic body had started a scientific closure of the grounds a couple of months ago. It had appointed Tatva Global Environment Ltd to carry out the work of partial closure and maintenance of the dump on a design-build-own-operate-transfer (DBOOT) model. The project is expected to take two years.
But work is being hindered by antisocial elements and rag-pickers. Recently, civic officials and an engineer were assaulted by goons

Residents of Alidada Estate in Shramik Nagar, Kurla, are scared to send their children to school after a nine-year-old girl from the locality was found raped and murdered on the terrace of a police colony building, about a kilometre away, on Sunday.
The entire area wore a deserted look on Monday as most of the children stayed indoors. Rashmi (not her real name) had gone out to play after returning from her tuition classes on Saturday when she went missing. “We did not allow our children to go out of the house to play,” a resident said. “We do not want any such thing to happen to them. Though children cannot understand what has actually happened, they can sense something is wrong.”
Nearly two weeks ago, Coro, an NGO working in Shivaji Nagar, Bainganwadi, and Govandi, had protested in front of the deputy commissioner’s office in Chembur against the failure of the police to stop rapes. A member of the NGO said that at least eight minors from the area had been raped in the past two-and-a-half months.

The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai conducted raids at five places in the last four days and recovered 30gms of cocaine, 79kgs charas and 900kgs ganja, collectively valued at Rs91.38 lakh. Nineteen drug peddlers, including three Nigerians, have been arrested. The ANC also seized a tempo, and two cars.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday, police commissioner D Sivanandan said, “With the arrest of 19 persons, the ANC have busted three outstation gangs who brought narcotic drugs into Mumbai and sold them.”
The narcotic drugs were sent to Mumbai from Orissa and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). Sivanandan added that they will soon co-ordinate with the J&K and Orissa police to nab the culprits who were involved in sending large consignments to Mumbai. Acting on the information, the ANC officers of the Bandra unit laid a trap at Vakola bridge, Santacruz (E) on March 4 and nabbed a Nigerian national, Jems Fanck, 30, and seized 24gms of cocaine valued at Rs96,000 concealed in his trousers. Fanck resided at Mira Road.
……..
In the third seize, the ANC officials received information that Dhannu alias Raju from Orissa would send narcotic drugs to Mumbai. Accordingly, ANC officials laid a trap at Mankhurd and intercepted a tempo and seized 900kgs ganja valued at Rs27 lakh concealed in the gunny bags. Five people from Andhra Pradesh were arrested. Amongst the arrested, one was held by the AP police two years ago for possession of ganja and convicted for six months. Another was arrested by the Nagpur police for possession of 220kgs ganja two years ago and was currently on bail, said DCP (ANC) Sunil Paraskar.
