Protest against the opening of dumping yard in Garaniya villagers boycott camp along with administration villages.

The villages remain persistent in their demand for the reserved dumping yard in the village's pasture area to be cancelled.

The villagers were outraged when the municipality reserved the pasture land of Garaniya (Khasra number 260) as a dumping ground. Angry villagers with the administration villages' boycotted  the camp at the gram panchayat on Friday, waving black flags and shouting slogans at officials. Seeing the demonstration, police and RAC officers were sent to the scene to educate the villagers, but they remained persistent in their demand for the reserved dumping yard  to be cancelled. In any event, the people were resolute about not allowing the area to be used for dumping. The villagers filed a petition demanding cancellation. Many villagers were present at the time.

Throughout the day, officials stood on the road outside the camp with the administration villages.

Villagers protesting the reserved dumping yard in the pastures refused to let any official into the encampment. Sub-divisional officer Dr. Bhaskar Vaishnoi, Tehsildar Hiralal Kalbi, and other officers stood on the road.  DSP Suresh Kumar and CI Sahdev Chaudhary, explained the situation to the villagers who were adamant in their demand.

 Villagers have been protesting for nine days.

Villagers have been protesting at the gram panchayat headquarters for the past nine days. People claim that the dumping yard was reserved without the NOC of gram panchayat's and without the approval of the villagers. The municipality's dumping yard serves as a catchment area for water flowing into the village pond. There will be a difficulty with water and fodder for the livestock & the possibility of diseases spreading in the village from the dumping yard.
