MUMBAI: Shiv Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday criticised the BJP-led Maharashtra executive over its resolution at hand over 41 acres of Mahim Nature Park in Mumbai to the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) for Dharavi's redevelopment plan.
"Nobody has the right to destroy forest," Thackeray stated after visiting the Park.
"If the MMRDA cannot maintain the park, it can be handed over to the BMC. This green space belongs to Mumbai, and can't be at the mercy of planners, who don't understand Mumbai," he stated.
"Such a shame. I only want to know from chief minister Devendra Fadnavis if he knew about the handover plan. If he did, why did he not object to such rampant hacking of nature? If he did not, how is the SRA and MMRDA running without his guidance," Thackeray stated.
"This area was a dumping ground and was converted later to nature park. Now the state government wants to give it to the builders," he stated.
