The Maharashtra government has planned to turn Worli Dairy property into a marine centre. As per the proposal, a part of the land will be developed as a marine institute and aqua centre, while the remaining part will be turned into government offices. The BMC had invited suggestions and objections regarding the change in reservation in November 2021. As per the proposal, which will be tabled in the Improvement Committee on Friday, 327 people objected to the change. Of them, 116 claimed to be employees, 136 stall owners and 74 are residents.
Many fear losing their jobs, and that the quality of the product will be hampered. Residents also fear that as the land is close to the shore, there may be a possible threat from the terrorists, who may enter the area as tourists. The BMC administration has sought permission from the Improvement Committee to send the objections and their feedback to the state Urban Development Department. The subject will be discussed in the meeting on Friday.
