‘Third Mumbai’ will be built only over our dead bodies, says former judge and activist B.G. Kolse Patil

Farmers are expressing strong opposition to the proposed 'Third Mumbai' new town project, also known as the Karnala-Sai-Chirner (KSC) New Town project. The agitation stems from dissatisfaction with the compensation terms outlined by the Maharashtra Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the body overseeing the development. A former judge and activist, B.G. Kolse Patil, has voiced extreme opposition, stating the project will only proceed over their deceased bodies.

This situation highlights potential land acquisition conflicts and community resistance that could impact large-scale urban development projects and the rights of affected landowners.
