Ajay Jadeja dumps garbage in Goa village, fined Rs 5,000

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja, has been fined Rs 5,000 for dumping garbage in Nachinola village, according to village sarpanch Trupti Bandodkar.

According to Bandokar, Jadeja owns a bunglow in Aldona village in North Goa and he was charged for dumping garbage in the neighbouring Nachinola village. Jadeja is said to have paid the fine, without any protest.

“We are plagued by the garbage issue in our village. Garbage from outside is also dumped in the village, so we appointed some youth to collect the garbage bags and scan them for any proof to identify the culprits,” the sarpanch said.

“We found a bill in the name of Ajay Jadeja in some bags of garbage. When we informed him not to dump the garbage in the village in future, he said he was willing to pay the fine. So he paid it. We are proud that such a celebrity, a popular cricket player, stays in our village, but such people should follow the garbage norms,” Bandodkar said.

Several eminent personalities reside in Aldona.
