In the Umbarpada Nandade

household situated, after the

land acquisition there will not

be any road to travel theses

pada villagers towards station

which result low connectivity

and transportation hence

requesting MRVC to make an

alternate arrangement for road.

For Land looser family the

railway authority should make

an arrangement for job

placement in railway.

As discussed, if due to Virar-

Dahanu Quadrapuling project

any local road connectivity

affected, then MRVC will

build alternative road in lieu of

existing road.

There is no any kind of

provision in MUTP III policy

for getting job in Railways.

We have Motor pump, Bore

This will be dealt at the time of

Due to Land acquisition the

main access or approach road

is affected hence in future

challenges in transportation

and accessibility. Hence

railway authority will have to

arrange or identify the

alternative road for villagers.

The MRVC will build alternate
