The movement against the mega township proposed at Carmona gained momentum with local residents under the banner of Carmona Citizens Forum launching a signature campaign against the project. Expressing concern over the project, comprising of 618 apartments, the Forum has said the addition of 618 residences would alter the demographic balance of the vaddo as well as the village. "The present water and power supply is inadequate in areas like Tamdeg, resulting in frequent shortages. The proposed project will only worsen the hardships of the villagers', the Forum maintained. Saying that no adequate system is in place for sewage and garbage disposal in the village, the Forum said it would be illegal to construct anything beyond ground-plus two in a rural village like Carmona. Maintaining that the villagers want to retain the rural and green look of Carmona, the Forum apprehended that a massive project with 618 apartments would be environmentally unsound within close proximity to the River Sal
