The state government plans to allocate around three acres of prime land at the Bombay Veterinary College campus, adjacent to Aarey Milk Colony, to a cooperative bank for the construction of Sahakar Bhavan. However, city-based environmentalists, activists, and nature lovers are opposing the move.
Sources close to the development said, “There are plans to transfer approximately three acres of land at the Bombay Veterinary College campus, adjacent to Aarey Milk Colony. A government letter detailing the transfer of the land to the Revenue and Forest Department for the construction of a Sahakar Bhavan for a cooperative bank was uploaded to the government`s website on July 29 but was later removed.
