Residents ask GCC to ensure stone crushing works near Mandaveli MRTS station are closed for good

A group of residents of Visalakshi Thottam, mostly women, held a protest  near  Mandaveli MRTS station in June 17.
They said that GCC must ensure that their action taken to clear the  stone crushing activity in public spaces in this area must be stopped for good.
They said that this activity caused dust pollution and affected them all.
Local police arrived at the scene and pacified the protestors who then left the place.
Two days ago, GCC officials had cleared the crushing units and removed the stones . But last night, unknown people had dumped the crushed stones back in the same place and had also marked spaces  as their stone crushing work area .
The crushing zone is illegal and has been operating merrily for years here.
