The Mumbai city collector will ask the police to file a first information report (FIR) against the commanding officer of the Indian Army at the Sagar Matha Club in Navy Nagar, Colaba, after alleged environmental violations came to light at the club.
Shivaji Jondhale, Mumbai city collector and district magistrate, said debris dumping carried out in intertidal areas on defence land was illegal as no permission was taken from the district administration. “Based on directions from this office to investigate the area, it has come to my notice that violations have been identified by the forest department. I will be directing the police to file an FIR against the commanding officer and directions will be issued to restore the area,” said Jondhale.
