The BMC has decided to prepare an ‘Emergency Action Plan’ in the event that Tulsi dam bursts. BMC will spend Rs 15 crore to prepare a plan. According to a BMC official, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has instructed the Director of Dam Safety (who comes under the Ministry of Water Resources) to ensure emergency action plans are prepared for reservoirs and dams near major cities. 

Dahisar river originates at Tulsi dam and meets Dahisar creek. According to the proposal, which was recently approved by the BMC administration, the river’s highest flood levels and necessary precautionary measures will be identified. By marking danger zones and implementing preventive action, the plan aims to minimise loss of life and property, the proposal has mentioned.
