Flamingo watch in seawoods creak.

Every morning, residents of navi mumbai  are being greeted by the delighful sight of flamingoes swooping over the creek, skimming through the water and breaking into a flight. 

While the residents are overjoyed that the pink-feathered visitors have chosen the Vashi creek for their stop-over in the city, bird watchers are not so happy with the situation. 

According to them, the flamingos have settled down in navi mumbai creek mainly because their usual habitat at Uran has been totally destroyed to make way for the Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone (NMSEZ).

 new building of nmmc navi mumbai   Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) new head office is all set for inauguration next month.

But apart from that, the new iconic structure is all set to create record of sorts. How? The building will have India’s tallest national flag — at a height of 225 feet.

Other attractions are it is the first green building by the government office and has a dome structure.

So, if everything moves in a proper direction then, NMMC’s new office can even find a place in the Limca Book of World Records.

Spelling out the details, city engineer Mohan Dagaonkar, said, “The new headquarters of NMMC will be the first green building by any government body. It has rainwater harvesting system, solar panels for harnessing solar energy, anti-reflective tiles fitted on terrace so consumption of electricity by air-conditioners is at minimum.”

He added, “The building will have tricolour hoisted at 225 feet, which is the highest so far. And the government has granted permission to fly the flag round the clock. The area near the flag will be kept illuminated throughout the night.” Currently, 10 locations in the country have poles hoisting the flag at 207 feet.

 Navi Mumbai, located in the eastern trans harbour of Mumbai, Maharashtra, is one of the world's largest planned townships. Since independence, the decision to build a new city on the mainland across the harbour was for a specific purpose: to decongest Mumbai, an island city whose physical expansion had a limit. It was also earmarked as an alternate haven for the multitudes that thronged to Mumbai from all over India. This decision required the state government to exercise the matching, politically speaking, hard option to relocate its seat of governance along with all its important offices to this new city, and completely stop the backbay reclamation project in the island city. It did nothing of the sort. It continued with the reclamation and put brakes on the efforts of CIDCO (such as the shifting of wholesale markets).

 The planning of Navi Mumbai could begin, in the right earnest, only by 1971, and involved leading architects and urban planner like, Charles Correa (Chief Architect), Shirish Patel, Pravina Mehta^[2] and R. K. Jha (Chief Planner),^[3] South Navi Mumbai is being developed rapidly with its class infrastructure and modern nodes of Kharghar, Kamothe, New Panvel andKalamboli.

 A new railway link between Nerul and Uran is under construction and the portion of this line from Seawood to Ulwe is at an advanced stage of construction.^[4] Kharghar and Panvel are experiencing major infrastructural developments due to their proximity to the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport. Also a latest development known as 'One Time Planning' with an estimated budget of 12,821 crores is underway to transform Navi Mumbai on the lines of the Mega Cities of the world.
