The issue of redevelopment of slums falling in CRZ in Mumbai also figured during the meeting. Another round of discussion on the issue will be held on March 4, 2017. Fadnavis also suggested that the centre should come out with guidelines, on the flow of polluted water into the sea in Mumbai, on the lines of international rivers. “The centre has assured of taking action in this regard,” the statement said.
