BMC Prepares 77-Hectare Coastal Land, Reliance Foundation To Create Green Gardens
· Free Press Journal
Mumbai: The BMC will spend more than Rs 100 crores of public money for the levelling of the 77 hectares reclaimed land along the Mumbai Coastal Road, before handing it over to Reliance Foundation for landscaping. Reliance has been awarded the contract to landscape and beautify the reclaimed land, which comes to estimated cost of Rs 400 crore and will be done under CSR. The foundation's head Nita Ambani recently said that 'Coastal Gardens' will be created, a green lung for Mumbai, announcing the project.
"It was earlier decided that Reliance will do all work. However, they have asked the civic body to resurface and level the land. It has been decided to fill the land at height of 900 mm with mud, accordingly trees can be planted. Work at one strech has already begun. It is important to handover some parcels of reclaimed land before monsoon, so that the trees and shrubs planted will grow in during rains," a civic official privy to the project said.
