The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will spend an additional Rs 400 crore on the trans harbour link to save flamingoes on the mudflats at Sewri. The MMRDA plans to realign the bridge by avoiding the marshy area which is home to the flamingoes. The trans harbour link is expected to cost Rs 8,800 crore. MMRDA commissioner, Rahul Asthana said care would be taken to ensure that the flamingoes are not harmed by the construction of the bridge.
Another challenge facing the project will be the Worli-Sewri connector which is faced with the problem of slum dwellers at the Worli end. Asthana said the issue will be tackled through an SRA scheme to ensure that the slum dwellers are resettled.
