Bombay High Court quashes CRZ clearance to Rs 14,000 cr coastal road project
MUMBAI: A shortcut taken by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) might prove to be quite costly, as it could instead end up delaying an ambitious road project of the civic body.
In a bid to save time and absolve itself from taking an environmental clearance for the construction of the Rs 14,000-crore coastal road project in Mumbai, the BMC decided to claim that it needed no environmental clearance for the work as it was just a road under the city’s development plan. Officials claimed they had taken this decision as otherwise the project would have got delayed by a couple of years.
