Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday opposed the Maharashtra government's decision to hand over the open spaces along South Bound Coastal Road to builders for development.
Taking to X, Aaditya said, "Hearing that some dalaals (brokers) of builders are asking for the open space of the South Bound Coastal Road we planned and initiated for Mumbai."
Disapproving the government's move, he said, the land belongs to Mumbaikars and it must remain with the BMC.
"The open space MUST remain with the BMC only and only for open spaces and urban forest plantations, as we Mumbaikars have planned. We will not allow the government to hand it over to builders or for hoardings as it wishes to!" he said.
Notably, last month, the BMC received only one bid for the development of approximately 70 hectares of open space along the Coastal Road Project.
The BMC has extended the deadline to May 7 due to a lack of interest from developers.
