Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities have given the go-ahead to the Rs 3,800-crore Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The six-lane road will start near Film City, go five metres under SGNP, and end at Mulund. SGNP Director and Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF) Anwar Ahmed visited the site recently and recommended the clearance, saying the project will not have any negative impact on the biodiversity of the park.

On January 17, Ahmed filed a site inspection report of the GMLR project, in which he stated, "The project is important for fulfilling the present and future travelling and transportation requirement of Mumbai and Thane city, and their adjoining areas. The project is in public interest. Hence, proposal is requested for approval."
