Development authority to counter impact on ecology
To compensate any adverse impact of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) on the ecology along the alignment, the development agency in charge will implement a list of measures, including construction of a flamingo park, a mangrove park and environment education centres.
A Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) official said the agency would implement all the measures suggested by the consultants with the help of local non-governmental organisations. The agency will spend Rs 200-300 crore to monitor and improve the ecology of the mudflats, water quality, air quality, noise pollution and solid waste management.
