    Airport in Navi Mumbai

    Uploaded by

    Nidhi Shrivastava
    The document discusses the proposed airport in Navi Mumbai as an environmental concern. It will require destroying mangroves and ecologically fragile areas. While it will provide a second airport for Mumbai, environmentalists argue it will damage biodiversity. There are also political factors influencing the project between state officials who want it built and environmental ministries concerned about its impacts. Compensation measures are proposed like planting new mangroves but some fear this cannot replace the existing sensitive ecosystems.
