Aaditya Thackeray is concerned that the decision to hand over public spaces, including the Mumbai Coastal Road, to private developers will benefit a few builders at the cost of the city's residents and the environment.
The Mumbai Coastal Road project is significant because it is a key infrastructure initiative designed to ease traffic congestion and provide a green space for the city's residents. It has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life in Mumbai.
The real estate developers have shown little interest in the Coastal Road project, with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) receiving only one bid for its development.
Thackeray suggests that the government should reconsider its decision and prioritize the development of public infrastructure that benefits the majority of the population, rather than a select few developers.
The key stakeholders in the debate over the Coastal Road project include the Maharashtra government, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, real estate developers, environmentalists, and the residents of Mumbai.
