A demand has been made by a Sena MLA for a tarred road to be built leading to the Wagheshwari temple. The temple is located in Ambapada, within a forest, and close to the Malad boundary of a national park. Environmentalists have expressed concerns about the potential impact of increased visitor numbers on the area's wildlife.
They warn that an influx of tourists or devotees could disturb the wildlife and lead to more instances of man-animal conflict. The temple's location, deep within the forest, is a key factor in these concerns. Further details about the demand and the potential consequences are available.
