Residents are protesting the Thane Ring Metro project due to concerns over tree loss, displacement, and alignment. A particular issue is the potential impact on Nath Pai Marg, which is described as a developed road with greenery and footpaths. The presence of an elevated metro corridor could alter the road's character and reduce its green spaces.

The protesters are also worried about the effect on pedestrian space. They note that the road already has a well-maintained carriageway and footpaths, which could be compromised by the metro project. Further details on the protests and the concerns of the residents are available from the source.
