Navi Mumbai Municipality Objects to Commercial Plan on Wetlands

Imagine the city wants to build parks, but some companies want to sell land that's currently wetlands and mangrove forests.

The city's local government, the NMMC, is worried because they need those areas for things like flood control and open spaces for people.

They also think that selling these areas for commercial use might not be a good idea.

The NMMC is pointing out that there isn't enough open space for parks right now, and selling off more land would make the problem worse.

They are worried that important natural areas might be wrongly labeled as open space just to be sold.
