According to T C Benjamin, principal secretary of the state urban development department, the associates went all-around and inspected the site along with the adjacent areas.

The squad investigated the 400-acre land of mangroves that might have to be detached, a 92-m hill that might have to be destroying and the rivers Gadhi and Ulwe that beneath the opening offer were to be abstracted. As per Naresh Dayal, head of the EAC, they have come to judge the site. There will be deliberations on the next two days with CIDCO officials.
