Development at the cost of nature has almost become a norm in Mumbai. Another such instance has come to the fore with illegal construction work being carried out on the wetland near Palm Beach Road in Navi Mumbai. The company, that plans to build a golf course and residential complex in the area, has started cutting trees and dumping debris, even though it does not have the required permission for it. However, the alert residents of the area refuse to let this happen. In a bid to protest against the illegalities, they have joined hands and formed a group - Save Navi Mumbai Environment. Apart from organising an awareness campaign on Sunday, they have formed WhatsApp and Facebook groups to keep everyone updated about the developments.
