Powai Lake will store more water to clean up dirty, stinking Mithi... 22nd July 'Times of India' pg 7..
I would suggest that the State procure land 100 mtrs on either side of the river.
This is done without much fanfare.
Once land is procured from the Powai lake point upto Mahim Bay, the current residents are provided accommodation under the SRA schemes.
Industrial Units are debarred to operate along the banks of the river.
All refuse being currently discharged into the river at various points are blocked and high penalties levied on those flouting rules.
Once done the land is demarcated into small plots, they are landscaped and sold to the highest bidder who can build a 1000 sq. ft villa by the river side.
There will be a promenade for the common man who can use the walkway and enjoy an evening by the waterfront.
Cafeterias can be allocated along the way. An Open theater, an Artist's corner,
Ideas can be borrowed from some of the best waterfronts worldwide and incorporated here.
The Money so generated can be used to better the City.
