Railway union members have threatened to stop all operations over the Dharavi deal that proposes the leasing of prime land in the city to the Dharavi Development Authority. The Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA) is slated to lease 45 acres of surplus land near Mahim-Matunga to the DRA, according to a late-night deal sealed in the presence of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

National Railway Mazdoor Union (NRMU), the biggest union of railway staff, in a meeting on Monday, threatened to stop local and outstation trains if the land is handed over to the state for the Dharavi Redevelopment Project.
