With the announcement of the BMC elections and the model code of conduct now in force, Mumbaikars and nature lovers will have to wait a little longer to visit the city’s first mangrove park in Gorai. The park, which features a boardwalk and a watchtower overlooking the creek, is fully ready but cannot be inaugurated until the election period ends.

Officials from the Mangrove Cell confirmed that all work has been completed. “The entire work at the Gorai mangrove park is complete, and it can be opened to the public,” a forest department source said.
