MUMBAI: The Mumbai Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar of the Shiv Sena said on Friday that the party would not allow any kind of open space reservation change in the draft Development Plan (DP) 2034 following the directives of the party president Uddhav Thackeray.

Over a year after it was released by the BMC, the draft DP 2034 will be tabled in the civic house today for a final nod. The house of corporators is required to send the draft DP 2034 to the state government latest by July 18 this month. "The draft DP discussion is starting today and our party chief Uddhav Thackeray has instructed us that no kind of reservations change pertaining to open spaces like recreational ground or playground should be allowed to be done," Mahadeshwar said.

 

He also said that their opposition to the metro car shed in Aarey colony would continue to remain as before. "In the civic improvements committee, we have already raised our opposition to the car shed in Aarey and our position is same now, " said Mahadeshwar.
