More than 1000 slum dwellers residing inside Aarey Milk colony gathered at unit no 5 on Sunday morning during a huge protest rally organised by NGO Jaan Aadhar Samajik Pratishthan. The rally was organised as a mark of protest against the demand by some environmentalists and NGOs to declare Aarey Milk colony as an eco-sensitive zone and forest.

It should be noted that the 'Save Aarey Conservation' group and 'Save Aarey Community' have installed banners in Aarey Milk colony explaining to the locals that they should be alert from some NGOs which are spreading misleading information.
