Youth-led environmental group ‘Fridays For Future Mumbai’ opposes coastal road work

Citing a report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which warns that a large part of Mumbai can go underwater by 2100, Fridays For Future Mumbai, a youth group working for the climate change movement, has demanded the cancellation of the ongoing Coastal Road project and has called for the already constructed segments to be dismantled. In a letter addressed to the state government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the group urged them to stop construction work immediately and to restore the biodiversity and ecology that has been damaged.
