It will take another three years for the Mithi River to actually become a river, as the BMC is issuing tenders for the third phase of the River Rejuvenation project after a year’s delay. The project is now expected to be complete by 2026. BMC had issued a tender in June 2022, but after bids were scrapped, it has again invited bids worth Rs 2,156 crores.

Activist Anil Galgali demanded that the BMC publish a detail status report of the project. “We keep reading about the project. But we are not seeing progress. Yes, the river has widened but it still looks like a nullah,” Galgali said. The third phase includes a 7.6 kilometer sewer line, a retaining wall of 7.4 kms, a 6.4 km service road, 28 flood gates, a promenade and landscaping.
