Intensifying their opposition to the “destruction” of the only green space available to them, and the discreet shifting of Metro 2B corridor’s “National College” station, residents of SV Road, Tata Blocks, Parsi colony, and Varde Marg Residents Association organised a protest rally on Saturday evening. Over 130 residents and supporters of the campaign gathered at the Sadhu Vasawani garden, the affected space.

Residents alleged that they wasted crucial time relying on the local MLA Advocate Ashish Shelar of the BJP and Corporator Swapna Mhatre, who only made “empty promises” and “tall claims” of getting the station shifted back to the old location and saving the garden.
