The Save Indrayani Action Committee (SAC), comprising environment groups and [[warkaris]], has decided to conduct a detailed study on the causes of pollution of the Indrayani river and support the local civic bodies take preventive measures with the help of the state government.They have a blog at ibks.blogspot and also formed groups on various community sites.
 
The action committee, which met at the temple town of [[Dehu]] on Thursday, decided to form different groups which will study the river from its origin near [[Lonavla]] to right up to where it joins the [[Bhima river]].
 
Speaking to TOI, convenor of the action committee Vikas Patil said the study groups which consist of experts will document the reasons of pollution by clicking pictures, preparing short films and by collecting water samples. The study is expected to be completed by March next year. The report and the demands would then be submitted to the state government as also to government bodies, like the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and the [[Pimpri-Chinchwad]] Municipal Corporation.
