Mumbai: Nearly 700 families from six villages in Raigad district have rejected the ‘best offer in the country’, as termed by chief minister Prithviraj Chavan at the end of the meeting held between the state government and the leaders of the Navi Mumbai airport project affected people (PAP) at Mumbai on Monday.
The villagers said their leaders agreed to the state government offer without consulting them. “We had demanded Rs6.25 crore per hectare as cash compensation along with 35% developed plot when we had a meeting with the members of Prakalpagrast Sangharsh Samiti before they (the committee members) sat for discussions with the chief minister,” Sadashiv Patil, one of the committee members from Pargaon village, said.
