Local residents in Kalwa are worried about losing an old lake that  has been partly taken over by the new railway lines, and partly by the railway’s gigantic stone crushing machine units, which are also encroaching on the pedestrian pathway.

The lake, locally known as Mafatlal lake, is situated next to the railway lines and the new platforms at the Kalyan-end of Kalwa station. Residents have approached the railways, the pollution control board and environment bodies to get the grievance addressed, and plan to approach the National Green Tribunal.
