In a bid to prevent solid waste from entering the sea, the BMC has decided to install nets at 11 stormwater drainage outfalls, all of them in south Mumbai. This will be done as a pilot project and if effective, will be extended to the suburbs later.
While the National Green Tribunal ordered the installation of the nets two years ago, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation issued tenders for the same only in February and has given a work order now. “The nets will come from an Australian company in July or August. We will fix them during the dry spell of the monsoon,” said an official from the stormwater drains department.
