Decks cleared for riverfront projects in Thane

Coastal Area Apartment
Decks have been cleared for the river front projects in the Thane area of Mumbai with the Bombay High Court having recently allowed the development of eight waterfront projects, a pet project of the city's municipal corporation. The court passed the order after the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) and Smart City Limited filed a petition that sought its approval and claimed that they had secured the requisite permissions for the project. Smart City Limited has been engaged for developing most of the waterfront projects. The TMC's waterfront beautification project extends up to 10.58 km and covers an area of 7,22,000 sqm. The waterfronts will include promenades, jogging tracks, walkways, playgrounds, cycle tracks, open gymnasium, food courts and benches. The court has ordered TMC and Smart City Limited to strictly comply with all 12 of the Maharashtra Coastal Zonal Management Authority's (MCZMA) conditions, including not felling even a single tree.
