High-Rises are being built in an eco-sensitive zone near the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, environmentalist Stalin D has alleged. He has written to the chief minister, requesting suspension of the ongoing project as it will destroy the ecology.
“In Thakur Village, Kandivli East, huge residential towers are being constructed on an entire mountainside. Dumping of debris and rocks has started on this land. Some survey numbers of the site are 41, 41 A, 42, CTS number 874. While we feel this is SGNP or forest land, the same needs to be verified,” he stated in his letter, also sent to the chief secretary. Stalin also claimed that during one of his visits, he had seen an old signboard reading that it is the property of the SGNP.
