Environmentalist challenges NGT order on Versova Beach wall
An environmentalist has challenged the National Green Tribunal's (NGT) approval of an anti-erosion seawall on Versova Beach, Mumbai, which allegedly violates coastal regulation zone rules. The wall reportedly subsumes 48,000 sq m of beach area and contravenes statutory clearances. The NGT noted its decision would not adversely affect the project. Environmentalist Zoru Bhatena has filed a review petition alleging an "error apparent" in the NGT's recorded proceedings. The seawall has also been criticised for reducing public space, altering the beach's character and violating coastal ecology and tidal patterns.
