Temporary bridge alongside Mumbai Transharbour link to remain as platform for flamingo watching

The state government and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will not demolish the temporary bridge alongside the Mumbai Transharbour link as it will serve as a platform for Mumbaikars to watch flamingos.

Metropolitan Commissioner S V R Srinivas of MMRDA said, “We are doing a detailed plan on this. The temporary bridge was erected to carry the machinery. Demobilising this bridge will cost us money. Instead, we keep it, and it can serve as a good platform for watching flamingos.”

Sources in MMRDA said the directives had come from Tourism Minister Aditya Thackeray.
