India, Nov. 3 -- Alleging that the city's waste was being dumped into the Aravalli foothills near Anangpur village, the Save Aravali Trust has accused the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) of engaging in an "unlawful and environmentally destructive act."

MCF officials, meanwhile, said "strict" action will be taken against any person or contractor found responsible.

The members of the trust alleged that MCF trucks have been transporting daily municipal waste and offloading it into abandoned quarries in the Aravalli foothills near Anangpur village, which are currently filled with rainwater. The practice, it said, poses a grave threat to biodiversity, groundwater recharge, and the health of nearby communities.
