timesofindia.indiatimes.com — May 10, 2025 at 08:01 PM UTC

Mumbai authorities demolished illegal wedding halls built on destroyed mangrove areas in Borivli, following a court order. The demolition targeted structures in the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) at Eksar village, after a stay order was lifted. Activists had been complaining about the illegal construction for two years. The action, supported by police, followed a previous demolition of an illegal Go-karting track in March. The mangroves' lack of official protection facilitated their destruction.
