Concerned residents and environmental groups met officials from the BMC’s Gardens and Trees Department on February 18 to seek clarity on the proposed Versova exit of the Bandra-Versova Sea Link, warning that even the revised elevated road plan could damage the 25-year-old Nana-Nani Park and its tree cover. The meeting follows a redesign in August 2025 that replaced an earlier proposal to clear the park with an elevated road supported by pillars inside the green space.
