It now has the [[Bandra-Kurla complex]] with corporate offices on both its sides. <br />
<br />
The depth of the creek is {{Convert|15|ft|m}}<br />
<br />
The waters of the creek are foul smelling due to the dumping of untreated industrial effluents further upstream. In recent years, the mushrooming of slums around the waters have caused concern for the mangrove ecosystem, vital to the ecosystem of Mumbai.<br />
<br />
In 2006, it was the site of mass hysteria as thousands claimed its waters had turned "sweet."<br />
