Supreme Court Clears Passenger Jetty Project Near Gateway
The Supreme Court has given the go-ahead for building a new passenger jetty near the Gateway of India.
This means a new terminal will be built in the sea, about 280 meters away.
The court said the project was approved by the right people and had all the necessary permits.
The High Court previously approved the project, emphasizing the need for environmental protection.
The project includes parking and waiting areas, which will improve passenger safety and reduce congestion.
Supreme Court dismissed challenges to passenger jetty construction.
The project is for a passenger jetty and terminal near the Gateway of India.
The jetty will be approximately 280 meters from the Gateway of India.
The Bombay High Court previously approved the project.
