THANE (MAHARASHTRA): Toughening its stand, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on Monday disrupted and blocked a land survey that was once being attempted close to Shil-phata here for the impending Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train challenge, a dream challenge of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Around two dozen MNS activists waving the party flags came to the Shil village at the outdated Mumbai-Pune Highway and carried out vociferous protests in opposition to the railway and govt officers surveying the land within the neighborhood.
The survey has been taken up by means of the National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd, which has been entrusted with implementing the Bullet Train challenge coming up with Japanese collaboration.
From Ahmedabad, the Bullet Train path in Maharashtra will traverse through Thane and Palghar districts before getting into Mumbai from the southern course.
The activists blocked the automobiles of the officers and prevented them from carrying out the land surveys for the lands on which the high-tech challenge is anticipated to be built.
The blockade came days after MNS President Raj Thackeray suggested the farmers in Thane and Palghar district not to sell or permit their lands to be got for the Bullet Train and the proposed Mumbai-Vadodara Expressway tasks.
"Don't sell your lands (for these projects). It's a ploy to purchase your lands in the name of the Bullet Train project and evict Marathi people from Mumbai which was separated from Gujarat in 1960," Thackeray had thundered at a public meeting in Vasai.
Last week, even the All India Kisan Sabha had launched an agitation in opposition to the Bullet Train in Palghar and suggested other people to beware of the challenge coming up within the name of infrastructure construction.
MNS Thane district chief Avinash Jadhav said that the party will continue to antagonistic the survey and dimension pressure since "the people want jobs, not a Bullet Train", and they'll no longer permit the educate to be launched here.
As in keeping with plans, the 508 km-long and India's first Bullet Train challenge will price round Rs 108,000 crore which will likely be built with a cushy loan from Japan.
The proposal has been antagonistic by means of all main parties including MNS, the Shiv Sena - which is a best friend within the state and the Centre, the opposition Congress and Nationalist Congress Party among others.
