Thane residents seek relocation of RMC plant set up for twin-tunnel project
Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: Residents of Haware Citi, a township in Thane’s Kasarvadavali, have approached the Bombay high court seeking relocation of a ready-mix concrete plant in their vicinity, claiming it was built in the Eco-Sensitive Zone of Sanjay Gandhi National Park without obtaining mandatory permissions. Thane residents seek relocation of RMC plant set up for twin-tunnel project The RMC plant, casting yard and a labour camp were set up to facilitate construction of the 11.8-km Borivali-Thane twin tunnel project. As per revised guidelines of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, RMC plants were moved from the green to the orange category, indicating they cause more pollution than imagined earlier, the petition stated. The Borivali-Thane twin tunnel project was originally taken up by the Maharashtra State Roads Development Corporation in 2015 but subsequently transferred to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority.
