Trust denies crocodile habitat pollution
The trust managing Jadhav Sagar Lake rejected allegations that it was responsible for pollution affecting a connected network of crocodile habitats near Madhav National Park. It argued that the municipality was responsible for solid-waste management and untreated drainage entering the lake.
Abhay Jain’s legal notice described eutrophication and major changes in the water’s physical and chemical properties. Forest officials also raised concerns that pollution and encroachment were altering crocodile habitat and increasing encounters between crocodiles and nearby settlements.
