Summary:
It seems both party animals and nature lovers cannot stop themselves from entering the Thane Creek Flamingoes Sanctuary at the Bhandup pumping station. The area has become a hotspot for partying during the lockdown, and it has also been seen that nature lovers are defying the rules to enter and watch flamingoes. I feel that the mangroves cell should also increase patrolling and book those who are illegally entering it." The Vikhroli police have been patrolling in the area and taking action against those entering illegally. We had planned to have a gate constructed right at the entrance of the Bhandup Pumping Station (at Eastern Express Highway)..
