The recent arrest of Valmik Karad in connection with an extortion case has caused a stir in Maharashtra’s political circles. The case, which also has ties to the murder of a local sarpanch, has been transferred to the State CID for further investigation.
Karad, who had been on the run for nearly a month, was finally apprehended at the CID headquarters in Pune. Since his arrest, there have been rumors of preferential treatment being given to him in jail, but Chief Minister Fadnavis has refrained from commenting directly on the matter.
Fadnavis, during a recent visit to Alandi, highlighted the importance of cleaning up the Indrayani River, which flows through the area. He emphasized the need for a systematic approach to treating the water that flows into the river from villages, cities, and industries.
To support these efforts, funding is being allocated to local governing bodies, and the Industries Department has been instructed to prevent untreated chemical waste from entering the river basin. Fadnavis is determined to see the cleanup project through on a “war footing” to restore the river’s health.
