The corporation has invited objections from citizens for the ‘bullet train’ affected area in 27 villages near Dombivli.

The work of planning the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed railway is going on from some areas of 27 village limits of Thane Municipal Corporation, Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation limits. This is going to affect the railway line and some parts of its adjoining areas. The Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation has cleared a proposal last week to have the said railway line in the approved development plan of 27 villages on a government order to ensure that the affected area is mentioned in the sanctioned development plan.

The map of the reshuffle has been made available for inspection at the office of assistant director town planning and E ward at the municipal headquarters, informed municipal commissioner Dr. Bhausaheb Dongde has informed the citizens of 27 village areas through a public appeal.
Citizens who want to take objections and suggestions to this proposed change. They should file their objections in the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation town planning department within 30 days from the date of publication in the Maharashtra government gazette. These objections and suggestions will make it possible to consider the modification proposal before it is submitted to the government approval, said Commissioner Dr. Dongde said in a public appeal. The sanctioned development plan for 27 village areas in Kalyan Dombivli municipal limits was approved by the government’s urban development department in March 2015. The urban development department has approved the change in this development plan in May 2017.

/The Ahmedabad high speed train service planned from BKC in Mumbai is passing through 21 km of Mumbai-Thane district. The train will take turns like Thane, Shilphata, Mhatardeshwar and Kopar and will go towards Ahmedabad. This is an ambitious project of the central government. The work on this railway was stalled during the tenure of former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray as there was no cooperation from the state government. The Thane municipal corporation had opposed the land acquisition. Now with the change of government in the state, this railway line has gained momentum again. Chief minister Eknath Shinde has directed revenue officials to complete the essential procedures for the work. The government machinery is working at a rapid pace to complete this railway line within the stipulated time.

The land for this railway line and the adjoining affected area will henceforth be registered in the development plan as the said railway line. Since shilphata, kopar area is covered by 27 villages, the development plan of 27 villages as affected area will be registered as per the said railway line as per the government order. The Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation administration has approved the administrative proposal as the said railway line in the plan in 27 village limits to complete this prescribed procedure. The commissioner has appealed to the 27 village citizens to file some objections and suggestions on the approval.
