Human chain at dried-up Seawoods lake protests CIDCO and NMMC’s apathy despite court order

The human chain that urged we save the wetlands
Activists observed World Migratory Bird Day in Navi Mumbai on Saturday with a silent human chain to say: Do not fiddle with the wetlands. The satellite city has gained the moniker of Flamingo City by virtue of being a pit-stop for the migrating flamboyant birds from winter to monsoons.
The 30-acre Flamingo Lake near Delhi Public School in Seawoods has been under threat with vested interests blocking tidal water flow, and rendering it dry in violation of the Bombay High Court judgement. The main channel on the south side of the lake is blocked by debris resulting from construction of Nerul jetty.
