Residents of New Panvel's Sector 1-S have raised concerns over the growing accumulation of garbage near the railway tracks behind Millennium Hilton. The area has increasingly turned into a dumping ground, prompting calls for immediate municipal intervention.

Recent photographs of the area show significant amounts of waste scattered near the tracks, creating an unsightly environment. The presence of the garbage has led to an increase in mosquitoes, raising fears of potential health issues among the residents living nearby.

Local resident Almustafa Khan has brought the issue to the attention of authorities through social media platform X, urging for quick action. In his post, Khan appealed to the Panvel Municipal Corporation and other relevant bodies to address the situation, citing the health implications caused by the waste build-up.

“Behind Millennium Hilton, near the railway track in New Panvel Sector 1-S, the area has turned into a dumping ground with heaps of garbage piling up daily. This has led to a mosquito problem, affecting the health of residents,” Khan wrote, requesting thorough cleaning and enforcement to prevent further dumping.

Farida Sheikh, another resident, said, “The stagnant waste has become a concern for us, with the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria being present. We have stressed the need for timely waste management to prevent such health outbreaks.”
