A land dispute in Survey No. 240, Indralok area, Bhayandar East, Navghar involving BJP MLA Narendra Mehta's Seven Eleven Constructions Pvt. Ltd. has escalated. Asgar Ali Vora, 81, claims he and his brother acquired approximately 2,810 square metres of land in 1989 through registered agreement and never sold it. Vora alleges Swayam Builders and Seven Eleven took over using forged documents in 2011. Seven Eleven maintains it legitimately purchased 1,405 square metres from Mervyn Fernandes through registered deed dated June 13, 2019.

Vora met PM Narendra Modi on September 8 seeking intervention and CBI probe. Revenue Department removed Seven Eleven's name from 7/12 land extract, but MBMC had not revoked construction permission. Seven Eleven surrendered commencement certificate and construction permission (issued April 17, 2026) to MBMC's Town Planning Department on September 13, citing ongoing ownership dispute and requesting fee refund.

A Mantralaya meeting was held September 15 attended by Principal Secretary Shrikar Pardeshi, Vora, Narendra Mehta, MBMC Commissioner Radha Binod Sharma and town planner Purushottam Shinde. MBMC scheduled formal hearing for September 16 on land ownership and permission surrender. A 2015 police complaint accused Vora of trespass and intimidation. FIR No. 0593 was registered at Navghar Police Station December 12, 2025 for alleged trespassing. Seven Eleven requested withdrawal of the FIR stating mutual settlement reached. Mehta stated the issue has been resolved.

Maharashtra revenue department will file Special Leave Petition (SLP) challenging April 30 Bombay High Court ruling in favour of Estate Investment and Mira Real Estate Developers. The 254.88-acre land parcel in Mouje Bhayandar, estimated worth hundreds of crores, is claimed by state government as government property. State alleges unauthorised changes to land records from 1948 onwards: names of Estate Investment Company and Mira Salt Works inserted illegally; Union government Salt Department name added in 1958 when land used as salt pans. Ownership dispute reached Supreme Court, which directed parties to approach Thane district collector. In 2002, collector rejected Mira Salt Works claim and ordered land vest with state. In 2019, companies and Salt Commissioner filed first appeal in Bombay High Court. April 30 ruling dismissed Salt Commissioner's appeal and ruled land belonged to Mira Salt Works. State contends high court appeal was limited to maintainability issue but court decided on merits, risking private developer Mira Real Estate Developers remaining on government land records. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule stated: 'We will firmly crush all attempts to grab government land by tampering with revenue records.'

The Golden Nest Junction flyover, part of the 13.58-km Mumbai Metro 9 project (Dahisar East to Mira-Bhayandar), cost ₹100 crore and has faced criticism over design safety. The structure features four traffic lanes narrowing abruptly into two, prompting complaints on social media and a formal complaint to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde (MMRDA chair). The flyover is one of four double-decker structures being built with the metro line on the upper deck and vehicular traffic below; two are already operational, the Kashimira flyover is incomplete. MMRDA says existing safety features include metal crash barriers, safety walls and signage. Proposed modifications involve demolishing 10-20 metres of median wall and replacing it with kerb stones fitted with reflective delineators to improve visibility and lane guidance. A one-metre gap at the median between separate carriageways requires filling before kerb stone installation, delaying the scheduled February opening beyond the planned fortnight. MMRDA also plans to partially open Metro 9, commissioning a 4.97-km stretch between Dahisar East and Kashigaon on February 5. The two narrower lanes are part of the downward ramp, while two additional ramps (one each side) are proposed for phase two—a 970-metre extension across the railway tracks.
