The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has refused to share the land of the Mankhurd and Dahisar octroi nakas with the Dharavi Redevelopment Authority (DRA). BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani in a letter to the state government has claimed these plots are required for civic projects. An activist from Mulund, Sagar Devre, has obtained documents through an RTI showing that the DRA is requesting land from the now-defunct Mankhurd and Dahisar octroi nakas. 

A land measuring 3,660 square metres of the Dahisar octroi naka has already been handed over to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) for the extension of the toll plaza. At the site, the BMC has proposed a transport and commercial hub on the 19,000 square metre area. The tendering process for the project is already underway,” Gagrani mentioned in his letter to the Urban Development Department of the state government.
