Mumbai's Coastal Road North project will see 100 trees replanted within Charkop's Charkop Sector 8, following their removal for construction purposes. This initiative, spearheaded by local activists, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Metro Hyderabad Development Authority (MHADA), aims to maintain green cover in the affected area. The first phase of re-plantation will commence at Datta Guru Udyan on October 27, 2026, at 10:30 am.
The project, known as the Versova-Bhayandar Link Road, Phase II of the Mumbai Coastal Road project, necessitates the diversion of 103.6554 hectares of forest (mangrove) land. This conservation effort will be complemented by the compensatory afforestation of 1.37 lakh mangroves on 255 hectares of land outside Mumbai.
Currently, the re-plantation project plans to restore greenery in three locations - Datta Guru Udyan, a plot adjoining the pond, and the premises outside K. B. Patil School, all in Sector 8, Charkop. Project spokesperson Mili Shetty expressed gratitude towards MHADA officials for granting permission to transplant the trees at these locations. The initiative is viewed as a significant step towards preserving the area's green cover in the face of infrastructure development and protecting habitats for urban wildlife.
