BMC’s Rs 20 bn megaproject to transform Mithi River

The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has launched a massive Rs 20 billion project stretched over a period of four years to overhaul the 17.8 km-long Mithi river.

The main goals of the massive construction projects are to stop the Mithi from overflowing during heavy rains, enter its low-lying surroundings like Sion, Chunabhatti, Kurla, and Ghatkopar, and improve the banks' aesthetics.
