Over the next month, citizens can submit suggestions and objections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) regarding the preparation of the Zonal Master Plan for eco-sensitive zones around the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP).

Citizens can send their inputs to the BMC until October 10. The draft zonal master plan, prepared in line with the original notification issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in December 2016, is available for citizens to view at the BMC headquarters, as well as at the headquarters of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), Vasai Virar Municipal City Corporation (VVCMC), Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC), and the Palghar district collector’s office. The plan has been prepared in consultation with local residents across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
