Residents of Kurla East protested on Thursday in Nehru Nagar against the survey of the dairyland intended for the Dharavi Redevelopment project. The State Government Land Record Department planned to survey the 21-acre dairy land in Kurla East. However, the survey has been postponed due to rain.
Nilesh Kamble, a resident of Nehru Nagar said, “The Land Record Department has planned a survey of the dairy land. We have united to oppose this survey, believing the land should remain open. While we are not against the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, we oppose the relocation of Dharavi residents to Kurla. Even the Dharavi residents are against their rehabilitation here and have joined us in our protest. Although the survey has been postponed, we will continue to oppose it whenever it is rescheduled.”
