The Thane-Borivali Twin Tube Tunnel project in Mumbai, aimed at reducing travel time and congestion, will pass under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). Despite a requirement for a comprehensive study on the project's environmental impact before construction begins, the study will not be completed for another two years. This has...

raised concerns from environmentalists, who argue that the tunnel could negatively impact the park's biodiversity, aquifers, and ecology. The project is being executed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and has been awarded to Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd (MEIL), a company that had been one of the largest donors to the electoral bonds scheme. The project has received approvals from the National Board of Wildlife (NBWL) and the Union environment ministry, with conditions attached. The NBWL has mandated a study by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) to assess the impact on wildlife, but WII has said it will be conducted before, during, and after the construction, despite the NBWL's requirement for it to be completed before construction starts. Environmentalists and experts question the effectiveness of the study and the oversight of compliance with the project's conditions.

complete hoga. Isse environmentalists chinta mein hain, unka kehna hai ki tunnel park ki biodiversity, aquifers, aur ecology ko nuksaan pahuncha sakta hai. Yeh project Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) dwara banaya ja raha hai aur contract Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd (MEIL) ko diya gaya hai, yeh company electoral bonds scheme mein sabse bada donor thi. Project ko National Board of Wildlife (NBWL) aur Union environment ministry se approvals mil gayi hain, lekin kuchh conditions bhi lagayi gayi hain. NBWL ne Wildlife Institute of India (WII) se ek study karne ka order diya hai taaki wildlife par impact ka pata chal sake, lekin WII ka kehna hai ki yeh study construction se pehle, construction ke dauraan, aur construction ke baad kiya jaayega, halanki NBWL chahta tha ki yeh study construction shuru hone se pehle complete ho jaaye. Environmentalists aur experts study ki effectiveness aur project ke conditions follow karne par oversight hone par sawaal utha rahe hain.
