Goa line producer defends Karan Johar led Dharma Productions in the garbage littering controversy

Dilip took to his Twitter page to issue the statement that read, "There is a dearth of waste disposal management companies in North Goa where the shoot was being held. Due to the non-availability of private vendors. I hired and paid the panchayat garbage vendors to segregate and collect the garbage generated at the shoot location."

"Unfortunately on one particular Monday, the garbage pick-up truck was unable to reach the dumping site due to a breakdown. Upon receiving this information my team immediately hired another special truck and had the garbage cleared,” he said.

"I repeat and reiterate that we have taken all the necessary steps to dispose off the garbage in the manner suggested by the government and we continue to adhere to the guidelines provided,” he concluded.

Read the full statement:

"Dharma Productions has got nothing to do with it. I am their representative here so the responsibility is on me that how things are to be done here. I will speak to my lawyers regarding this and take legal action,” Dilip Borkar earlier told ANI News.
