Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday met a delegation of the Vadhavan Bandar Virodhi Sangharsh Samiti (VBVSS), which has been protesting against the Vadhavan port at Dahanu in Palghar district.
Ravindra Phatak, Shiv Sena legislator, who was present at the meeting, said that the delegation told Thackeray why they are opposing the project. “The CM heard them patiently… he assured them that whether they oppose or support the project, he will be with the local people.
But the CM also asked them to be firm on their stand and not change it later,” he added.
