The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has invited a tender for water quality improvement, beautification and flood relief mitigation of the Mithi River between Kurla and Mahim causeway. The first time such a tender was invited was in October 2022, which was later scrapped. If the BMC succeeds in pulling off this project, citizens can enjoy an evening walk along the riverbank in four years.
BMC had planned to improve the water quality of Mithi River along with the beautification of the riverbank and flood mitigation in four stages. Under the third stage, BMC will divert the sewage network—which is currently discharging into the river—to the municipal sewage network. It also planned to develop an 8.5-km long promenade along the river with a cycle track. In this stage, BMC will develop and beautify the riverfront from Kurla CST to Mahim Creek.
