The residents of Ramtale and Sai Nagar have decided to stand firm on their decision to oppose the proposed material recovery facility in the vicinity of a temple. The decision was taken during a joint meeting held on Sunday at Aldona. During the meeting, MRF shed issue was discussed. The issue of notices to be served to houseowners who have encroached on comunidade land was also discussed. “We are ready to fight to save our temple and also our houses” was the underlying feeling. The villagers said that complaints have been filed against selective locals for illegal construction for the houses. Amar Mandrekar said that “our ex-CM had taken an initiative to regularise houses built prior to 2000.” Those houses that were constructed recently will be demolished. “Don’t encroach on comunidade property as it is the land of Gaunkars and they have given it to us for the temple,” Mandrekar said. Commenting on the MRF shed, he said that panchayat body tried to set up the MRF shed during the Christmas vacation, and added that the Aldona MLA should support villagers on the issue.
