Illegal Mangrove Cutting in Mumbai? What’s Happening in Charkop | Honest Take With Tejas | Lokmat

Описание: Mumbai recorded 40°C in the first half of March, one of the hottest March days in years. While the city struggles with an early heatwave, another alarming development is unfolding along the Charkop coast. Mangroves are reportedly being cut in connection with the Mumbai Coastal Road (North) / Versova–Dahisar Link Road project, even though the project has only received Stage-I approval and the final forest clearance is still pending. Citizens who questioned officials at the site claim no permission documents were shown, raising serious concerns about whether the cutting is legal. Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting Mumbai from floods, storm surges, and rising temperatures, making their destruction a major environmental issue for the city. In this episode of Honest Take, Tejas Joshi breaks down what is happening on the ground, why mangroves matter for Mumbai’s climate, and the key questions the authorities must answer.
