PUNE: So much so that the residents of Katraj and Dhankawadi have demanded that the fencing wall be urgently repaired or rebuilt to rein in these problems.

A site visit conducted by Hindustan Times corroborated that the wall of the garbage processing facility has developed cracks and a major portion has collapsed due to which garbage is spilling onto the main road and causing problems for commuters and area residents. Moreover, the road turning slippery during the ongoing monsoon has raised the possibility of accidents.
