The Coastal Road, one of the most significant upcoming infrastructure projects of Mumbai, will be a part of deliberations in the upcoming G-20 2nd Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group (DRRWG) Meet in Mumbai from May 23-25, said Ministry of Home Affairs on Sunday.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will highlight the disaster management measures taken for this project in front of the DRRWG delegates, the ministry added.

According to the ministry, the DRRWG’s five key priorities are early warning, resilient infra, national response, building back better and nature-based solutions.
