Maha gives nod to reclamation for coastal road

A coastal road in Mumbai city is a step closer to becoming a reality after the Maharashtra coastal zone management authority (MCZMA) approved reclamation of 160 hectares for the project and recommended the amendment of coastal regulation zone (CRZ) notification, 2011, to facilitate its implementation. The MCZMA made this suggestion to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in a meeting on June 10 to decide on the increasing issue of traffic congestion.
