Local MP and Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad participated in the protest and shared her views on social media. “Participated in the protest and signature drive organised by residents of Nehru Nagar and MVA against the government’s move to parcel out and build on the eco-sensitive and precious green land at Kurla dairy,” Gaikwad posted. “The anti-people GR must be immediately withdrawn. The precious trees at Kurla dairy land must be protected at all costs and the land must be reserved as a public garden in the development plan,” she demanded.
