Letter to Mr. Jairam Ramesh, Union Minister for Environment and Forests
July 9, 2010
Sir, as a resident of Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, I have been watching, with anguish, the developments on the proposed Navi Mumbai Airport.
I found it extremely disheartening to see senior officials of CIDCO blatantly accepting the fact that 400 acres of mangroves will be affected and still pushing for the development of the airport at the proposed site.
CIDCOs suggestion of destroying the mangroves at the proposed location and planting mangroves elsewhere, is extremely bizarre and shows their utter disregard for nature.
I wish to thank you for your concern for ecological issues and exposing CIDCOs nefarious plans.
Thank you.
