Dear Citizens,

Thank you for writing to the BMC in such large numbers. The BMC reply that we received was confusing. The first line itself said that this important information about how they planned to use the reclaimed area was not uploaded on the BMC website. Why? 

Further the letter had information and numbers that were different from what was submitted by them in 2017 to the Environment Ministry! The reclamation has increased from 90 hectares to 95 hectares, the road carriageway has increased from 20 hectares to 25 hectares and best of all is that the the "recreational green spaces" - now have amusement parks! Is this what we need in this city? 

To spend Rs 12,500 crores on the Coastal Road is a colossal waste of scarce resources. If the BMC wants to make Mumbai a better place to live what they need to use the money for is: Pothole free roads, safe pavements, a decent and comfortable public transport system which includes buses and railways. This is what will help to decongest the city.

The Mumbai Coastal Road Project is anti-development, anti-infrastructure, anti-Mumbaikar, and anti-environment.

THE COASTAL ROAD IS A PROJECT THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO ALL OF MUMBAI. IT DOES NOT AFFECT ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE COAST, BECAUSE BY USING RS 12500 CRORES ON OTHER IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE, MUMBAI CAN BECOME A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.

We have various events planned over the next few weeks - please follow us for more details:
