Overview
- The Mumbai Suburban guardian minister submitted a formal representation to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking a helipad at Bandra Reclamation.
- The proposed facility would serve the Bandra–Worli Sea Link, the planned Versova–Bandra Sea Link, and Mumbai’s Coastal Road.
- Shelar argues that the corridors’ over-sea sections and underground tunnels complicate rapid evacuation and restrict ground-based emergency access.
- He says a helipad would enable air ambulances and faster transfers to nearby hospitals, including Lilavati Hospital.
- Shelar identified available space at the site and asked for immediate directions to state agencies, with no approval or construction decision disclosed.
