Looks like the Maharashtra government’s ambitious coastal road project has successfully crossed all the barriers. The proposed Nariman Point-Kandivli coastal road that encountered resistance at every turn has received the necessary notification from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest on Wednesday.

The ministry finally gave a green light by issuing a notification, which allows the state to reclaim land for construction of the coastal road. However, it has been specified that the reclaimed land cannot be used for any commercial purposes.
