Mumbai Groups Demand Gaothan Policy Extension Like Raigad

Imagine Mumbai has old villages called 'gaothans.'

The government lets villages in other areas, like Raigad, get bigger by adding land around them.

This is because of a special rule.

But, the villages in Mumbai are not allowed to do this, even though they were there before the city.

People in Mumbai are upset because they think it's unfair.

They want the same rules.

Some groups have already complained to the government and the High Court, asking for equal treatment.

They believe it is not fair that they are excluded from the policy.
