Following Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's order on a temporary stay on carrying out any work on the Metro car depot land inside Aarey Milk Colony and withdrawing cases registered against the protesters, the Aarey Conservation Group is all set write to the CM with their set of demands with regard to Aarey. The group will send a 10-point charter of demands including preparation of a vision plan for Aarey as a major landmark of Mumbai and handing Aarey over to Maharashtra Forest Department.
The group will also appeal to the CM that the Adivasi residents there are an important and essential part of Aarey and they should be recognised. "We have a lot of expectations from the current CM since he is an environment and wildlife lover and will, therefore, be sending him a charter of demands and are hopeful that he will make a positive decision," a member of ACG said.
