After reviving the Versova beach, Afroz Shah took up the challenge to clean Mithi River in 2018. Along with state Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray, Shah is working tirelessly to clean the river.
In an interview with mid-day, the UN Environment's Champion of the Earth winner had said that it would take at least five years to clean up Mithi River. "During monsoon, Mithi River usually cleans itself, but we want to prevent the plastic waste from flowing into the ocean," Shah had said. The 18-kilometre long river extends from Vehar Lake to BKC.
