Versova–Dahisar Coastal Road Project
Sector: Government • Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Source: National Herald
The Versova–Dahisar Coastal Road project involved felling 46,675 trees across 103 hectares. As a compensatory measure, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) planted 1.37 lakh mangroves in the Bhayandar reserved forest. However, the survival of these mangroves is in crisis, with many saplings withering shortly after plantation due to unsuitable conditions and lack of tidal water movement.
