Work on the crucial bridge is stuck due to the BMC and not the Forest Department, as the civic body would have you believe

While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is content to point its finger at the Forest Department over the delay in the Shrikrishna Nagar bridge reconstruction, mid-day has found that the delay is actually on part of the BMC itself.
One of the crucial links in the western suburbs, the bridge on the Dahisar river, which joins Shrikrishna Nagar in Borivali to the Western Express Highway, was closed in 2021 after a part of it collapsed. The first half of the bridge was inaugurated in March 2023 after reconstruction, but the second part is still not complete. BMC officials had earlier claimed that the delay was due to the fact that some portions of bridge are on forest land, and a no objection certificate from the Forest Department was yet to arrive.
