There is hope for the Mogra pumping station in Andheri, which will help reduce flooding during the monsoon season. Progress had stalled due to an ongoing land dispute, but the court has now directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to deposit the land cost and proceed with the work.
The pumping station on Mogra nullah, among others, was recommended by the Chitale Committee after the July 2005 downpour. While five of the pumping stations are already operational, the futures of the Mogra and Mahul stations were uncertain. The BMC appointed contractors M/s Michigan Engineers and M/s Mhalsa Construction (jointly) for the construction of the Mogra pumping station in June 2021, at a cost of Rs 393 crore. A partial work order was issued for miscellaneous tasks.
