Maha Opposition Protests Thane Tunnel Project Allegations
Some politicians in Maharashtra think the government might have been unfair in a big tunnel project, maybe even taking bribes.
They're saying the government favored a certain company, and it could be a scam worth billions of rupees.
They're so upset they're protesting.
They want the government to look into this and make sure everything was done honestly, especially since the project got cancelled after another company sued.
Basically, they believe the government wasn't playing by the rules.
Opposition in Maharashtra protested at the legislature, alleging a Rs 3,000-crore scam in the Thane tunnel project.
