MUMBAI: After a diktat by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Development Plan (DP) department of the BMC on Saturday issued a notice to modify the DP 2034 to make a provision for a coastal road from Versova to Dahisar.

The stretches from Versova to Dahisar and Dahisar to Bhayandar are being carried out by the BMC.

On Friday, when Fadnavis took a review of the coastal road, officers implementing the project said that land acquisition would be difficult if the areas were not marked. Since the government wants the BMC to start the work in August 2025, it asked for immediate changes to the DP.

"The CM told us to issue the notice immediately," said a senior officer of the DP department.
