According to an official statement, the initiative, which started on Independence Day 2020, has now expanded to more than 1.25 lakh volunteers across Navi Mumbai, Mumbai, Thane and Raigad, collectively removing over 1,200 tonnes of waste from mangrove areas

Officials said two massive TBMs, each weighing more than 3,000 tonnes, are currently being assembled for the project. These machines will construct a 16-kilometre stretch of the 21-kilometre-long Mumbai tunnel
