Mira-Bhayander :- In a significant development for the Bhayandar (East) region of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, the Maharashtra government has approved the allocation of funds under the Essential Infrastructure Fund for the construction of an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a gymnasium on a parcel of land measuring 3267 square meters, including the removal of 3267 trees. This ambitious project is set to commence on the 23rd of October, 2023, as announced in a public notice published in the local newspapers.
While the news of this project has garnered attention, it has also raised concerns among various environmentalists, citizens, and social organizations who have voiced their dissent by submitting written objections to the Municipal Corporation. They highlight the need for meticulous planning and environmentally friendly practices in carrying out such development work.
In response to these concerns, the municipal authorities are considering the relocation of the proposed facilities to another suitable location while ensuring that the Olympic-sized swimming pool and gymnasium project continues. The aim is to strike a balance between urban development and preserving the environment, addressing the concerns of both sides.
This development showcases the importance of engaging the public and various stakeholders in discussions regarding crucial projects, emphasizing the need to maintain ecological balance in urban planning. The revision of plans indicates a willingness to reconsider and adapt to a changing landscape while ensuring that the city continues to develop sustainably.
The Municipal Corporation has expressed its commitment to addressing the concerns raised and ensuring that the project benefits the community while being ecologically responsible. As they continue to deliberate on the matter, the residents of Bhayandar (East) eagerly await the final decision and look forward to witnessing the transformation of their local amenities.
The Bhayandar (East) community remains hopeful that this project will set an example for environmentally conscious development, not just in the region but across Maharashtra.
Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses, and the community and local authorities work together to shape a better, greener future.
