Mumbai: ‘Damage to environment would be irreversible
MUMBAI:
Architect Shweta Wagh, one of the respondents in the coastal court
case, said that by the time of the next hearing in the Supreme Court in
April 2020, irreversible damage to the environment by reclamation would
be done.
“Also,
against what the BMC has claimed—that there is no fishing activity in
the reclamation zone—a study by us shows that fishing occurs in it, the
intertidal zone. We hope we were heard at length in the case,” Wagh
said. Threatened with a loss of livelihood, 500-odd fishing families
from Worli Koliwada were among the first to move court against the
project.
We
are disappointed that the SC has allowed work to continue till April
2020. Environmental damage would be irreversible... And it is public
money that is being spent on this project,” said activist Debi Goenka.
Activist Zoru Bhathena said he was “extremely sad” to see that “the very
basic precautionary principle of environmental law has been done away
with”.
Conservationist
Stalin Dayanand said, “Our opposition was to reclamation, which would
damage coastal ecology, and cause erosion. By saying that reclamation is
allowed but no ancillary developments, it does not take away the issues
raised by various petitioners. It is an unjust decision. Mumbai will go
on to witness the loss of beaches and increased flooding.”
