Farmers Oppose Navi Mumbai Planning Scheme Over Land Rights
Imagine a plan to build new towns near an airport.
Local farmers are worried about this plan, called NAINA.
They want the government to respect their existing homes and give them fair land rights.
They're not happy with how the new plots are being assigned and want to ensure they can build on their land.
They also want the same building rights on their old and new plots.
They want basic services like water and roads and feel the plan doesn't consider their needs.
Farmers want to ensure their villages are properly included in the plan, not treated as an afterthought.
They want their homes to be safe and their needs to be met.
Farmers in Navi Mumbai are protesting CIDCO's NAINA Town Planning Scheme (TPS).
Farmers demand property cards for existing structures and adherence to the 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
They are concerned about plot allocation, claiming the 40% developed land overlaps their homes.
Farmers want the same Floor Space Index (FSI) rights on their original and new plots.
They cite lack of amenities and demand proper integration of villages into urban planning.
