NMEPS Demands Legal Backing for Navi Mumbai Wetlands
The Navi Mumbai Environment Preservation Society (NMEPS) wants the government to make official rules to protect important wetlands like DPS Flamingo Lake.
They say that without these rules, it's hard to make sure the wetlands are really protected.
The group's leader, V.K. Gandhi, explained that official orders are needed to make sure the promises made about protecting these areas become a reality.
NMEPS believes that having clear rules will help everyone work together to keep the wetlands safe and stop them from being damaged.
They are asking the government to make these rules as soon as possible to protect the city's important natural areas.
NMEPS urges the government to issue formal notifications for wetland protection in Navi Mumbai.
Key wetlands include DPS Flamingo Lake and other ecologically important water bodies.
NMEPS emphasizes the need for legal sanctity, defined timelines, and enforcement provisions.
Formal notifications are seen as essential for coordinated action and preventing misuse.
NMEPS reiterates its commitment to supporting stakeholders in protecting fragile ecosystems.
