Even as the Maharashtra government plans to shift residents of three tribal hamlets from land allocated to the Force One Training Centre at Aarey Milk Colony, Goregaon, the tribals have stated that they will not vacate their houses there. As per government plans, tribals from three padas—Chafa 1, Chafa 2 and Keltipada—will be given alternative accommodation on five acres of land at Aarey Milk Colony. Chief minister (CM) Uddhav Thackeray recently approved the plan to shift the tribals.

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) will be constructing houses for the tribal residents while non-tribal project-affected people (PAP) will be given tenements constructed by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) outside Aarey Colony.
