Mumbai bets on Rs 2,000 crore twin projects to clean 60% of the Mithi River
Mumbai is investing Rs 2,000 crore in a massive Mithi River cleanup, featuring a 6.6km diversion tunnel and a tidal-stretch overhaul. These projects aim to intercept 60% of sewage, but success hinges on removing encroachments and commissioning the Dharavi wastewater treatment facility. Experts caution that engineering alone won't suffice; waste dumping must also be controlled for lasting change.
