In order that the Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd (CBM) Metro Line-2 may see the light of day, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has told the Union environment ministry that it will plant mangroves outside city limits to recompense the ones that are going to have to be hacked to accommodate the Metro car depot coming up at Charkop.

On the track? The Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd Metro corridor is now a Rs 8,300-crore project, and is being implemented on a public-private partnership basis. File Pic
