He argues that such activities not only pose a threat to the structural integrity of the tank but also violate previous High Court orders that prohibit heavy vehicular traffic on the Ridge.
The former Deputy Mayor has expressed deep concern over the blatant disregard for environmental and heritage preservation. He has urged authorities to take immediate action against the culprits and ensure strict compliance with the court’s directives.
