💨 Abstract

The proposed passenger jetty near Mumbai's Gateway of India faces opposition from locals due to concerns over environmental hazards and heritage site threats. The Rs 229-crore project, intended to upgrade ferry traffic facilities, has been met with protests from residents, backed by politicians. Critics claim it will disrupt the area's cultural, environmental, and social fabric, and pose a security risk.
