A recent letter from the ministry of environment and forests has been reason for much jubilation for Mumbaikars. The letter instructs the Usha Madhu Cooperative Society promoters of an ambitious 18 hole golf course project in Goregaon in north west Mumbai to stop developmental work with immediate effect. It says that having received a "large number of representations against it", the ministry looked into the matter and has concluded that the "clearance is suspended forthwith destruction of mangroves at the site".
