On October 12, Rajendra Patil, a senior member of the Peasants and Workers Party (PWP), led a massive protest, with over 5,000 project affected people (PAP) from six villages, against the construction of the proposed Navi Mumbai Airport. The agitators halted all operations at the airport site stating that the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd (CIDCO) was yet to fulfill their demands pertaining to rehabilitation. Yesterday, Patil, a resident of Vahal gaon in Navi Mumbai, was served an externment notice by cops, who claimed the Panvel APMC market chairman has several criminal cases against him.
