Garbage and plastic in Mithi river block Mumbai civic chief’s boat survey

With just a week to go for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) May 31 deadline to complete pre-monsoon works, a site survey of Mithi river, undertaken by civic chief Praveen Pardeshi, hit the dirt, quite literally. When a team comprising Pardeshi, mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar, and leader of Samajwadi Party in the BMC, Rais Shaikh, took a boat towards Mithi from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link on May 24, they could not progress beyond a point in the river owing to floating garbage and plastic.
