The Maharashtra government is planning to de-reserve a 270-acre plot in Thane city limits from the picnic centre and green zone for its Metro 4 project connecting Wadala and Thane.
The state urban development department has published a notice to change the reservation under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning act. The project is being implemented by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and Metro 4 will be later extended from Wadala to General Post Office in South Mumbai.
Speaking to The Indian Express, MMRDA Commissioner S V R Srinivas said, “There is a 270-acre plot in Thane, and it was a revenue land given to private parties on class 2 lease. We need nearly 104 acres for our car shed for Metro 4.
