Mumbai Development Plan scrapped: Chief Minister buckles under pressure?
On Left, Right and Centre, we discuss why a massive, ambitious development plan for Mumbai has been scrapped. The project has been controversial from the get go for its lack of adequate protection to heritage sites, charges that it favours builders and of course, impacting the city's limited green cover.
