Aaditya Thackeray Opposes AI Data Centre and Ring Metro Projects in Thane
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has opposed the proposed AI data centre and ring metro projects in Thane, citing environmental and public health concerns. He highlighted issues such as high noise levels, significant electricity and water consumption, diesel storage, and tree felling. Residents and local groups have protested the data centre's location, urging its relocation to an industrial zone. Authorities have yet to respond to these concerns amid ongoing debates over the projects' impact on Thane's livability.
