Days after getting the green signal from the National Wildlife Board, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), is trying to get the final nod from the Forest Department (FD), before it commences work on the Rs 4,000 crore Goregaon-Mulund Link Road project.

On Wednesday, the BMC sent a letter to Vikas Kharge, the principal secretary of the Forest Department, giving an assurance that the civic body would not lay claim on the land above the tunnel, that will pass under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park as part of the GMLR.
