Thursday marked the final day for submitting suggestions and objections to the draft Zonal Master Plan (ZMP) of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). But tribal residents from Aarey Milk Colony and SGNP have demanded an immediate halt to the plan, alleging that it was prepared without their consultation or consent.

The Forest Rights Committee (FRC) of the P South ward has written to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the chief engineer of the Mumbai Development Plan, demanding that the draft be scrapped and a meeting with the tribal community be held before any decision is taken.
