The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority has raised concerns over a proposed road project due to its potential impact on mangroves and a flamingo sanctuary. The project involves the removal of mangroves, with 1.7472 hectares to be permanently removed and 2.7225 hectares temporarily removed. This affects around 3,754 mangrove trees.
The authority has deferred the proposal, directing the project proponent to provide more information. Further details about the project and the authority's decision are available. The project's alignment passes through an eco-sensitive zone, prompting regulatory hurdles.
More studies are being sought to assess the project's environmental impact.
