The Aarey Forest is the Private Property of the Government -CM Fadnavis Sept 2019
We are in that phase currently where the establishment logic appears to be something like this: 1) Government owns Land, Assets 2) I am the Government 3) So - I own the Land, Assets 4) I can do anything I want with it

Metro3 T1 & T2 Airport Stations T1 station built for old Santacruz airport T1A (which is no longer an Airport terminal) T2 station built for old Sahar airport (which no longer exists) Mumbai Metro3 Planned for Bombay from the 1980s Built with eyes closed in the 2020s
I don’t think there’s a single metro line in this entire country that comes close to the Delhi AirPort Express Line. Bhide and MMRCL should hang their heads in shame for the abomination that the Aqua line is as far as airport connectivity is concerned.

Thank You Supreme Court For giving My BMC a rap and getting 3400 Sq Metres of public land freed up for a BEST Bus Station We have only one query- When BMC eventually sells off this precious BEST land... Will you be giving them another rap? Or, a stamp of approval?

Hello @szuchans Here is some more information. From 2022. About this very same issue
The 27-story home of Mukesh Ambani in Mumbai, known as Antilia, stands on the site of a former orphanage. The orphanage was a charitable organization established in 1892, and per its founding charter, its purpose was to care for and educate orphaned and poor boys belonging to the Khoja community, a small trading community in Mumbai. By 2002, the charity owned around an acre of land on Altamount Road, one of the most expensive real estate locations in India. In November that year, the charity sold this acre to a company controlled by Ambani for 21 crore rupees, or about $4.3 million. The real estate value of the plot at the time was no less than 200 crore rupees, or $41 million, according to an Indian publication called The Caravan. The sale price was around a tenth of the value The Caravan reported. There was a problem. The orphanage was a religious charitable trust, and to sell its properties, it was required to seek approval in advance from the state regulatory board for charities. No such request was made to the board. In 2004, the board issued a notice requiring an explanation. The charity fought it for a year before offering a settlement to the board. In 2005, the board agreed to take 16 lakh rupees, about $36,000. Its members voted that the sale of the land had been necessary for the orphanage's mission, and the case was closed. This was the approval that allowed the tower to be built. Ten years later, a state inquiry found that board members had committed misconduct for personal gain. In 2017, the board filed an affidavit in the Bombay High Court stating that the sale was illegal all along. So the board charged with protecting land donated for charitable purposes is the board that handed it over. And for $36,000, it gave up land worth at least $41 million. The land now accounts for most of the house's value. It cost about $77 million to build Antilia, but now it's worth an estimated $1 billion, and nearly all of that value is from the land, not the building. The sale has never been reversed, and the land has never been ordered by a court to be returned to the charity. Land given to raise orphans is now under a $1 billion house, and the only people who were paid to object took $36,000 to stop.

Not the first time that the Supreme Court has found Mrs Ashwini Bhide to be ignoring it's Orders.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered an immediate freeze on the November salary of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Ashwini Bhide and other civic officials while initiating contempt of court proceedings against her for failing to clear encroachments from government land. The three-judge bench also rejected the civic body's request for an additional 30 days to comply with its earlier directions to clear the land earmarked for a Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) bus station in Mumbai's Borivali and imposed costs of Rs 5 lakh. #SupremeCourt #BMC #BMCCommissioner #AshwiniBhide | @journovidya Read More: intdy.in/qu2p48

2018- Vidya Nagari Station Planned to connect students to Mumbai University Kalina Campus (hence the station name) 2024- Plans abandoned College kids given the boot And to camouflage all this, station name is changed To Bandra Colony Mumbai Metro3 Unconnecting Mumbai
Why isn't Bandra Colony metro station being connected to Kalina campus of university via walking bridge or subway? Thousands of daily students and staff will get benefitted through it, easing BEST bus crowd and also increasing patronage. @MumbaiMetro3 @AshwiniBhide

Pune today joins the elite club with Mumbai where changing between Metro lines requires exiting paid area, pay new fare, and re-enter. At Civil Court interchange to connect to lines 1 and 2.
