The Gargai Dam project in Palghar has hit a hurdle as the BMC is yet to acquire 68 hectares of land required for compensatory afforestation. While most land has been identified, pending acquisition and approvals could delay progress on the project slated for completion by 2030

The project, part of Metro Line 7-A construction in Bamanwada and Vile Parle East, could not be completed on schedule due to technical reasons. Water supply from Powai High Reservoir-I (PHLR-I) will also remain suspended during this period
