The High Court has issued notices to the respondents in a petition challenging the alleged unauthorized development and operation of a casting yard on a 19,773-square-metre plot in Bainguinim village.

The petitioners have sought directions to the concerned authorities to demolish all structures erected on Survey No. 20/2 and restore the site to its original condition.

According to the petitioners, the casting yard’s operations are exposing approximately 3,000 residents and schoolchildren in the surrounding area to persistent noise, dust and exhaust emissions. The petition raises concerns over the alleged impact of the facility on public health and the local environment.
