In order to protect mangroves from further destruction, a BMC corporator from Andheri West has erected a boundary wall and illuminated the area around it. Thanks to the initiative, locals have reclaimed the footpath adjacent to the wall for walking, which, in turn, is preventing illegal dumping of debris and entry of anti-social elements. Residents of Haridwar Marg, near Seven Bungalows, have been facing the problem of encroachments and illegal dumping of debris near the mangroves for a while now.
