🧵 Important Thread: The ₹1200 Cr Juhu Land Scam That Bulldozed Mumbai’s Poor How a plot reserved for municipal housing was parcelled out illegally to builders — not once, but twice. #महायुती_मस्त_मुंबईकर_त्रस्त #JuhuLandScam #LandGrab #StopTheLoot

This is the story of a 48,407 sq. ft. plot (CTS No. 207), situated at Juhu Barfiwala Lane, originally built to house @mybmc's conservancy workers — the very people who keep Mumbai clean and ticking. Today, it's the epicentre of a ₹1200 crore land scam. Here's how 👇

Built as conservancy staff quarters in 1965, this prime public land, reserved for municipal housing, was quietly and illegally handed over to private developers — not once, but twice — under two different housing schemes. #LandScam #Mumbai #StopTheLoot @INCIndia @Pawankhera

@INCIndia @Pawankhera 🕰️ Chronology of the Scam: 1965: BMC constructs conservancy quarters. 2008–2011: BMC & SRA officials shockingly declare the plot a slum. A pvt firm, Darshan Developers Pvt. Ltd.,submits a redevelopment scheme. SRA illegally approves it. @nauzerbTOI @VishalBhargava5

@INCIndia @Pawankhera @nauzerbTOI @VishalBhargava5 After local Congress corporators Mohsin Haider, Ashraf Azmi, and residents raise the red flag, the slum scheme stalls. Even now @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis backs the protest. But crucially — the slum LOI is never revoked. @rajuparulekar @MNCDFbombay @btalkies13 @PriaINC

@INCIndia @Pawankhera @nauzerbTOI @VishalBhargava5 @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @rajuparulekar @MNCDFbombay @btalkies13 @PriaINC 2021: While the illegal SRA LOI still stands, BMC floats a new tender under its Ashray Yojana for redevelopment of conservancy staff colonies- a second housing scheme — on the same plot. Transcon Sheth Creators Pvt. Ltd. is appointed as the contractor. @mybmc @mybmcwardKW

@INCIndia @Pawankhera @nauzerbTOI @VishalBhargava5 @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @rajuparulekar @MNCDFbombay @btalkies13 @PriaINC @mybmcwardKW 🚨 Two housing schemes on one plot. One never cancelled. One freshly approved. On land meant for neither. That’s like selling someone else’s house twice. #LandFraud #PublicLandLoot #MahabhrasthYuti #MitrjiviSarkar @surendra_gangan @Journoyogesh @bytesofnews @samar11

Still, they were labelled ineligible. BMC spent public money — ₹10.82 crore — to clear the land. Within two days, another builder (formerly Aspects Developer) takes unauthorised possession. #PlotGrab #Juhu #CORRUPTION #Mumbai

No action. No inquiry. No resistance. Why are officers so scared of this builder? Whose support in the ruling party does he enjoy? Why was public land handed over so casually? @INCMumbai @MohsinHaider68 @AshrafAzmiMH @mumbai_iyc @IYCMaha

I ask again, whose support does this builder enjoy? @INCMumbai @INCIndia @mumbaimatterz @MNCDFbombay @Jairam_Ramesh @INCVinayPandey
