Monsoon work started at the Vishwamitri-Bhimnath bridge VADODARA: Environment activists and concerned citizens have asked the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) to immediately stop the clean-up activities at the Vishwamitri river. Terming the entire exercise being carried out by the civic body as utterly destructive, the citizens through notices issued to all the authorities have claimed that the process was in violation of order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). On May 25, NGT had issued order stating that the entire flood plain zone of Vishwamitri river should be mapped and demarcated. The order had also stated that unauthorized, illegal structures should be removed and river’s integrity should be maintained and restored. The order was issued in connection to the Vishwamitri River Action Plan.
