This giant island would have an area of 1 sq mile and would be connected to mainland through ring road, tunnels and metro line.

Plans include construction of a dam system across its perimeter. This dam will help in protecting the harbour from rising sea levels and storms.

Construction of island is facing opposition from environmentalists and it will have adverse effect on environment.
