MUMBAI: The nature lovers of Versova and nearby areas of Andheri, Juhu have come together to fight for the preservation of mangroves along the coast in Survey 161, where certain land sharks have been systematically destroying the green cover for their vested interests.
The founder trustee of Save Andheri Versova Environment (SAVE) Forum, Pravin Choudhary, told Mirror: ``Many local citizens, ALMs and groups involved with SAVE Forum are highly disturbed by the way our precious green mangroves along the Versova coast are steadily disappearing due to illegal activities. We have contacted various state authorities, including the forest department, to ensure that these mangroves are protected and handed over to the state mangrove cell for preservation.''
