MUMBAI: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has found land for the construction work which has paved the way for the proposed pumping station project at Mahul. The project saw a significant delay for the last few years as the Salt Commissioner, a government of India entity that owns this land, refused permission.
Once the pumping station is constructed it will solve the problem of flooding in areas like Kings Circle, Gandhi Market, Nehru Nagar, and Sindhi Society in Chembur. The entire project will cost around Rs 250 crore. BMC has now decided to get the land from Ajmera Realty and Infrastructure India Limited for the construction of the pumping station and in exchange, the civic body will transfer land parcels to the company at some other locations.
Furthermore, after finalising the land exchange, the corporation will approach the Department of Urban Development for a change of reservation on the land to a stormwater pumping station which is currently preserved as open space in the development plan. Moreover, the BMC has been following up with the Salt Commissioner since 2015 regarding the land but there was no response.
