Nehru Nagar police detained 21 protesters who came out in numbers to halt the final survey of the Kurla Dairy land, on Thursday. The state government plans to use the Kurla Dairy land to rehabilitate families, displaced by the Dharavi Redevelopment Project.

Nilesh Kamble, a Kurla resident, who was detained by the police said. “We are not opposing the project. But our demand is clear: Dharavi residents should get homes in Dharavi. We are demanding a botanical garden in place of the dairy. In June 2024, the state government approved the proposal to hand over the land to Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt. Ltd.
