After years of follow-up, the BMC has not had any breakthrough in constructing the Mahul pumping station yet. The station can solve the issue of waterlogging in Sion, Chembur as well as Matunga. The proposed site is under the salt commissioner and they have asked for compensation.
The BMC has been struggling to acquire land for the Mahul pumping station, which was one of the seven such projects recommended by the Chitale Committee after the July 26, 2005, Mumbai deluge. The facility, which has remained on paper for the past 17 years, can solve flooding at Matunga, Wadala, Chembur and Sion and ensure smooth harbour train services during heavy rain.
