The Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has proposed to develop the three km
area from weir-cum-causeway to Vivekanand Bridge at Tapi rives as a green belt.
This decision comes in wake of the demolition of Surat’s Bapunagar slums on 20
July 2010.
As per sources, SMC has proposed to hire experts from Sarvajanik College of
Engineering and Technology (SCET) for planning and designing the stretch.
