"Just pan the cameras on the road from where you entered our village and see its condition. It will make you realise what we want. Make our vehicles run at bullet speed, build roads for us. What we lack is basic amenities. The village school does not have water, and school kids have to walk on muddy roads," Rajashri Sadanand Kini, sarpanch of Virathan Khurd village and a Shiv Sena activist, said.

Virathan Khurd is the village in Palghar district, Maharashtra, from where the alignment of the 508-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train is passing."I don't have any land myself, but I have the villagers' mandate, and I will go as per their wishes. If they are fine, I'm fine. If they oppose, so will I," she told mid-day.
