The padayatra is expected to reach Carapur on Sunday, where participants are likely to highlight concerns over the large-scale development proposal and its potential impact on the local environment and surrounding communities.
The march has been organised as a mark of opposition to the proposed housing project, which activists allege is being planned by The House of Abhinandan Lodha, a Mumbai-based real estate developer.
According to the organisers, the initiative aims to raise public awareness about the project and mobilise local residents and stakeholders to safeguard the area’s ecological and cultural heritage.
The protest is expected to draw participation from environmental groups, local residents and citizens concerned about large-scale development in the region. Organisers have reiterated their demand for greater transparency and public consultation before any such project proceeds.
