L&T, Tata Power Want a Piece of Aarey Forest Land

After a series of land diversions in the Aarey forest in the last few decades, more applications are coming up for land allotments from private organisations and government. Larsen and Toubro (L&T) has asked for land for a labour camp in Aarey. The letter has been signed by Natesh Mahajan, Project Director of L&T, for Oberoi Garden City. He wrote to the CEO of Aarey Colony, Nathu Rathod, on October 11, “We have come to know from reliable sources that land is available with you on rent/lease at Mohan Gokhale Road opposite Esquire Project. We have to set up our labour camp for workmen for accommodation and require 30,000-35,000 sq ft.’’
