Thane creek at receiving end of Mulund dump pollutants [1]

Trickling of leachate - pollutant that seeps through garbage - into the Thane creek from the Mulund dumping ground has become a major cause of concern for fishermen as well as environmentalists. The leachate, say environmentalists, has affected marine life and the day is not far when the ground water table will also be affected by it.
