A green NGO in Navi Mumbai has alleged that the maiden draft Development Plan released by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) woefully ignores the environmental health of the city.
NatConnect director BN Kumar said that while the city has acquired the nickname of Flamingo City, conservation of wetlands, which is the destination of the migratory birds, wasn’t on the agenda of those preparing the DP. “The DP draft does not spell out any plans to protect and conserve the wetlands, which are under CIDCO control and under constant threat of being wiped out. On suggestions from NatConnect, the previous municipal commissioner Abhijit Bangar had written to CIDCO expressing NMMC’s desire to conserve the DPS Lake in association with BNHS. We haven’t heard anything after that,” he said.
