With the rejection of the proposal, the Shiv Sena ruled TMC has effectively rejected the transfer of the land required for bullet train in TMC jurisdiction.
Mumbai| On Wednesday, Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) here rejected a proposal of land compensation of around 2,000 hectare land in Thane for bullet train route. National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) had given the proposal, which was brought for consideration in Thane municipal corporation’s meeting yesterday. The proposal was rejected, news agency ANi reported.
With the rejection of the proposal, the Shiv Sena ruled TMC has effectively rejected the transfer of the land required for bullet train in TMC jurisdiction.
Sanjay Waghule, the BJP Floor Leader in Thane Municipal corporation, said: “The proposal was brought for consideration at the end of the meeting and Mayor ordered to reject it immediately. This is not the right approach by the Shivsena leaders in Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC).”
“On one hand they are seeking funds for 200 buses from the Central government and on the other hand they are rejecting proposals related to the Centre’s projects. It’s a hypocritic approach that they are expecting something from centre and also rejecting Centre’s projects at the same time,” Mr Waghule added.
Naresh Mhaske, the Thane Mayor, said that the decision was supported by members of all parties.
“We have rejected the proposal because we don’t want to give away the land of Thane at cheap prices. I am happy that when we rejected the proposal in house, members of all parties supported this including BJP,” the Mayor said.
“We have taken this decision in the interest of Thane,” he further added.
