Nerul, Navi Mumbai: Vegetable vendors using Nerul parking lot as storage and throw their rubbish once finished with selling on the road at the parking lot opposite to Abhudaya Bank near Nerul station. As a result, trash has accumulated and is now luring flies and mosquitoes.

The locals have urged the CIDCO officials to act quickly to clear the trash and stop the spread of sickness. In order to prevent criminality, they have also requested more protection in the area close to nerul parking lot.
A CIDCO representative stated in a statement that the issue is being investigated and that action would be taken quickly.
Authorities from CIDCO tell locals that they would increase the number of trash cans in the parking lot and increase routinely collection and properly disposal of the trash. To prevent crime, CIDCO will increase home guard round in the parking lot.
