The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has drawn a plan to improve basic amenities in western suburbs developed by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA).
The development plan is to improve amenities like water supply, building roads among others, in densely populated residential pockets of Gorai, Charkop and Borivali areas.
Due to a rapid increase in population, there has been an acute water crisis in western suburbs said senior officials.
Additional municipal commissioner and in charge of western suburbs Suresh Kakani said the plan they have formulated will be initiated in a phased manner. In the first phase, their priority is to improve the water supply and condition of roads.

Meanwhile, they have handed the entire Gorai Beach stretch to the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to transform it into a potential tourist hub. The civic officials are considering constructing a bridge over the Gorai creek.
The BMC has also written to the MHADA seeking permission to set up two tanks of water supply.
Vaqar Javeed, the assistant municipal commissioner from the R/Central (R/C) ward of the BMC, said that after two tanks are constructed, they will set up five more tanks in sectors 3 to 7 in Charkop and Gorai areas.
