Thane (Maharashtra): Toughening its stand, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on Monday disrupted and blocked a land survey that was being attempted near Shil-phata here for the upcoming Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, a dream venture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Around two dozen MNS activists waving the party flags, came to the Shil village on the old Mumbai-Pune Highway and carried out vociferous protests against the railway and government officials surveying the land in the vicinity.
The survey has been taken up by the National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd, which has been entrusted with implementing the Bullet Train project coming up with Japanese collaboration.
From Ahmedabad, the Bullet Train route in Maharashtra will traverse through Thane and Palghar districts before entering Mumbai from the southern direction.
