Mumbai curtently undergoing huge construction activities, with hundreds of skyscrapers and thousands of high-rises under construction, construction of Metro Lines etc.
I visited SGNP, which is around 40-45 km from city center, and there is forest/jungle.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), encompasses an area of 104 km2 (40 sq mi) and is surrounded on three sides by India's most populous city.
I had a chance to take few photos of the surroundings, and you will see few buildings are in construction stage just behind SGNP. (effect of urbanisation).
