Mangrove Land in Mumbai Faces Destruction from Debris Dumping

A large area of mangrove trees in Mumbai is being damaged by people dumping trash.

The government is not taking action.

A local politician, Anil Parab, suspects that builders are trying to take over the land for construction.

Despite complaints, debris dumping continues, endangering the protected mangrove area.

The Maharashtra government has already allotted some of this land for development which has caused concern.

The politician is speaking out, trying to prevent the damage.
