'Padli' village is very near to pilgrimage Dwarka. it comes in Okhamandal block of Jamnagar district in Gujarat. 

Some years back, one multi-national company started its salt work by acquiring land near padli village. some villagers were getting employment on temporary basis... but then after some years company closed the salt work and started using this site for dumping slurry waste from their soda ash chemical plant.

Picture shown here is of one of the slurry pond. The slurry coming out of the pipeline is very hot. There are 5 slurry ponds , each one is 50 feet deep and one sq. km in width. 

 "These slurry dumping site is just near to our village as you can see. till date many cattle have fallen inside' 

"This was our grazing land... once upon a time...,,Now all what we have is hot winds blowing from over the slurry carrying lot of dust " 

Surprisingly on paper... this area is still shown as their salt production area. 

We were standing in the middle of  huge dump yard of soda ash chemical waste.. Company security persons were keeping watch on us.......but as we had local person accompanying.. they did not dare to intervene.....
Till dte many complaints have been filed with pollution control board.. they come.. listen to us... then they go to company office.. the to company guest house...come out with bag full of money...go back to gandhinagar and then nothing happens....."  villagers said.........
