Fed up with no movement, residents from Nehru Nagar Kurla have now written to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) with 10,000 signatures against rehabilitating Dharavi dwellers in the old and defunct Mother Dairy land, which they want to be saved as an open green space.

The 10.4-hectare piece of land earlier used by the government milk dairy at Nehru Nagar Kurla has been lying unused after the dairy shut down nearly a decade ago. The land is placed strategically, sandwiched along the Santacruz Chembur Link Road, LTT Kurla Terminus, Mumbai Metro Yellow Line 2B, and the Harbour line of Mumbai Suburban Railway.
