Police offer protection as state government officials had arrived to clean and clear the plot

Residents of Nehru Nagar, Kurla East, gathered in large numbers to protest the survey of the Mother Milk Dairy land for the Dharavi Rehabilitation Project on Sunday morning. State government officials had arrived to clean and clear the plot, but locals opposed the move. The police detained several protesters, though they were later released.

The state government plans to allot the Kurla dairy land, located in Kurla East, to rehabilitate Dharavi residents, who were ineligible for the scheme in Dharavi. However, locals are demanding the land be used for a nature park instead. The State Land Records Department has scheduled a survey of the land for January 23, 2025.
