Activists are in uproar over the destruction of wetlands in the city, despite several complaints made to the local and state forest authorities.

The latest environmental violation can be seen behind Raghuleela Mall in Vashi, where debris has been dumped in the mangroves.
"We had earlier complained about the debris being dumped in the mangroves along the Sion-Panvel highway, which was later cleared by the forest and local authorities. About the latest debris dumping in Vashi, I will again inform the forest department,'' said environmentalist Debi Goenka of Bombay Environmental Action Group.
