This is because the Maharashtra government has continuously undertaken mangrove plantations, created mangrove parks and ensured their conservation,” he said, adding that even when some mangroves have to be shifted or removed for such vital infrastructure projects, Maharashtra remains number one in mangrove conservation.To get details on exclusive and budget-friendly property deals in Mumbai & surrounding regions, do visit: https://budgetproperties.in/
