Speaking about the project, the Additional Municipal Commissioner (Eastern Suburbs), BMC, Ashwini Bhide said, the project design has factored in the probable disasters, apart from environmental compliances and ease of living for citizens. About 13.6% of the project area i.e. 15,60,770 square feet (14.50 hectares) is earmarked for the construction of a safety wall which will protect against sea waves.The 8.5 km long sea wall is built in such a way that marine life flourishes, while corrosion, soil erosion and tidal effects are taken care of. This will also be an important issue for disaster management matters. For the construction of the wave wall, which will act as a protection wall, the highest level of flood has been taken into account.
