The 6,000 sqm plot in Bokadvira village designated for a government-proposed 100-bed sub-district hospital (SDH) in Uran has encountered development delays. The land falls within a Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) mangrove buffer zone, creating regulatory obstacles to the project.

The Bombay High Court ordered demolition of a complex with five illegally constructed buildings in Uran's Chanje village, Navi Mumbai, within four weeks. The court criticized authorities for allowing illegal constructions and highlighted evidence of collusion between property developers and CIDCO officials despite repeated resident complaints.

Chanje village benefited from improved connectivity following the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link's inauguration. Landowner Vivek Deshmukh and developer Vinayak Developers appealed to the Supreme Court, which issued an interim stay on the demolition order, stating no eviction could happen without its approval.

Resident petitioners Meenanath Patil and Vijay Jadhav claimed construction began in 2013 with an NOC, despite developers knowing CIDCO approval was needed, causing access issues to their homes. CIDCO inspected the site in 2014 and issued a notice for unauthorized structures under the MRTP Act. An FIR was filed in 2016 against developers for illegal construction. Despite this, construction continued. CIDCO's lawyer referenced an affidavit from August 2024 confirming illegal occupancy. A regularization application from developers was rejected in January.

The High Court criticized CIDCO for negligence and weak enforcement leading to unauthorised structures that harm buyers. It directed buyers' recourse against developers and mandated action against responsible government officers.

The Maharashtra government surveyed 564 wetlands in Uran and Navi Mumbai. This challenges Cidco's claims that these wetlands do not exist. The wetlands are crucial habitats for migratory birds and face threats from development projects.

CIDCO has denied accepting wetland status of areas in Navi Mumbai, but an RTI document procured by environmentalist BN Kumar, Director of NatConnect Foundation, confirms wetlands of Panje, NRI Complex, TS Chanakya, Lotus Lake and Kharghar are among 564 wetlands identified and surveyed by Maharashtra Government.

Maharashtra Environment and Climate Change Ministry assigned Chennai-based National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) to map and prepare comprehensive documentation of state wetlands; study ongoing.

NCCSM has completed survey of 564 wetlands across eight districts since March 2024: Nagpur (71), Gonda (43), Bhandara (31), Palghar (8), Raigad (18), Thane (19), Chandrapur (46), Sindhudurg (count not specified). Pune district covered 265 wetlands so far with process continuing.

State Mangrove Cell expressed interest to conserve wetlands under Wildlife Protection Act, but CIDCO rejected idea claiming these are originally salt pans or farmlands and hence developable land parcels.

Panje wetland leased to NMSEZ (now NMIIA) in which CIDCO holds 26% stake. No construction taking place but wetland frequently goes dry as intertidal water flow blocked by vested interests.

Vanashakti and Sagar Shakti moved Bombay High Court to save Panje. NMEPS and Save Navi Mumbai Environment waging legal battle to save NRI and TS Chanakya wetlands.
