A sizable number of villagers from Murdhe, Rai and Morva in Thane district`s Bhayander region have expressed opposition to the acquisition of their cultivable lands for the construction of a metro carshed.

The carshed, for the 13.5-kilometre Metro Line number 9 between Dahisar in Mumbai and Bhayander, is expected to come up over 27.70 hectares of land.
