BMC starts work on north phase of coastal road project in Goregaon
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has commenced works on the second phase of Coastal Road Project along a 1.2 km stretch in Goregaon, which falls outside the limits of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ). On Wednesday, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar conducted a site inspection where he took stock of the developments on the project. Set to connect Versova in the western suburbs with the satellite city of Bhayandar, the north phase of the Coastal Road Project encompasses interchanges, elevated roads and twin tunnels. The mega project passes through land and creeks with most of the area falling under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ). On Wednesday, the civic body said that foundation work at a 1.2 kilometre stretch in Goregaon, which lies outside the CRZ boundary, has been commenced. According to officials, this stretch falls under the Package B of the project, which encompasses an overall area of 1.66 km between Bangur Nagar and Mindspace (Malad). For perspective, the coastal road has been divided into six packages between Versova and Dahisar. While carrying out inspection of the foundation work at the non-CRZ area in Goregaon, AMC (Projects), Bangar on Wednesday instructed officials to ensure that no work is undertaken in areas which are categorized under CRZ. Besides overlooking ongoing works at Goregaon, Bangar also conducted site visits at Versova, Andheri, Lokhandwala interchange, Malad mindscape among other pockets where he interacted with officials and took stock of several works being executed under the ambit of coastal road phase 2. Earlier this month, the BMC received the crucial in-principal (Stage I) approvals for the mangrove forest diversion proposal to develop the project through the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). Having procured the stage I approvals, the civic body is now going to approach the High Court. According to officials, work can be commenced only after acquiring the working permissions from the High Court. Following this, the MoEFCC grants the Stage II (final) approvals for the project.

Third Jaguar Jet Crash Since March: When Was Fighter Aircraft Inducted? How Many Does IAF Have?
Last Updated: Third Jaguar Jet Crash Since March: The SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft were officially inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) in July 1979 A Jaguar fighter aircraft on Tuesday crashed near Bhanuda village in Rajasthan's Churu district, killing two Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots. In a post on X, the IAF said: 'An IAF Jaguar Trainer aircraft met with an accident during a routine training mission and crashed near Churu in Rajasthan today. Both pilots sustained fatal injuries in the accident. No damage to any civil property has been reported. IAF deeply regrets the loss of lives and stands firmly with the bereaved families in this time of grief." When were Jaguar jets inducted? How many does the IAF have? The SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft were officially inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) in July 1979. The first squadron to be equipped with Jaguars was No. 14 Squadron, also known as the 'Bulls", based at Ambala Air Force Station. India initially purchased the Jaguars under the name Shamsher in IAF service. The aircraft were manufactured under license by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in India. The IAF currently operates approximately 115 to 120 SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft across six squadrons. However, only about 83 of these are fully operational as of April. Jaguar jet crashes since March April 3: Another Jaguar jet crashed in Gujarat's Jamnagar. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Siddharth Yadav, died in the crash that occurred due to a critical technical malfunction in the aircraft. In a remarkable act of bravery before his death, Lieutenant Yadav saved countless lives by steering the crashing aircraft away from a densely populated area. He also ejected his fellow pilot, ensuring his safety before tragically losing his own life. March 7: An Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguar ground attack fighter went down near Ambala during a routine sortie. At the time, the pilot was able to eject safely. Does IAF plan to phase out Jaguar jets? The IAF too, is expected to begin 'number-plating' or phasing out its older Jaguar models after 2027-28 onwards, but amid delays in acquiring the HAL Tejas Mk2, Rafale, and MRFA (Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft), it is left with little choice but to extend the life of these outdated planes. Do other countries fly Jaguar jets? Countries like Britain, France, Ecuador, Nigeria and Oman, which once had Jaguars in their fleet, have retired them long ago, with some jets put on display in air museums. view comments First Published: July 09, 2025, 17:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
