Once again, the city's mangroves are in danger of being destroyed. A patch of mangroves adjacent to the Lokhandwala back road on a 200m stretch, are endangered because construction debris is being dumped there, a report said in this paper. Activists are fretting because they say time is running out for the Mangroves Cell to act.

Debris has been illegally dumped in various locations close to the mangroves patch in and around Lokhandwala in Andheri West. Locals say they have approached their political representatives who have yet to respond.
