BMC to Analyze Mulund Land for Future Development
The city is checking what they can build on the old Mulund trash dump.
The city will study the soil, water, air, and gases there.
This will help them decide what can safely be built there.
The goal is to figure out what kind of development is possible.
They'll measure things like soil quality, water purity, and air cleanliness.
They are going to hire an expert company to do this work, which will take about a month.
Officials want to understand what's safe and possible for this land.
They have ideas like a golf course or a hospital for the land.
BMC will conduct an environmental analysis of the Mulund dumping ground.
