Land acquisition for the 1,483 km-long Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) has run into severe opposition from farmers' groups who have taken to the streets to save their land.

The most vociferous protest against land acquisition for the project is coming from Maharashtra's Raigad district where the government plans to acquire 62,440 hectares in 78 villages. Protesting farmers from the region have now come to Mumbai where they are camping at the Azad Maidan in South Mumbai.
