On August 26, green activists have raised complaints against the Maharashtra government for the illegal chopping of mangroves in the Panje wetlands of Uran. The Bombay High Court has appointed a Mangrove Protection Panel to look into the matter in Navi Mumbai's eco-friendly region. Earlier, social activists had raised complaints when a 270 m wall was proposed to be built on the Panje river which would block tidal waters.
