After more than six months of persistent misuse, a stretch of Dadar beach is finally being reclaimed. BMC G North ward officials installed concrete blocks at two of the three entry points on Monday, following a mid-day report on April 20 that highlighted unauthorised vehicles accessing and parking in the Intertidal Coastal Regulated Zone 1 (CRZ-1B).

According to the residents, since last Ganesh Chaturthi, when the blockades at the three entry points were removed, the beach has been affected due to unauthorised vehicle access.
