Even as the state government is yet to make a categorical assertion on the acquisition of tribal land for the controversial Sahara India Housing Project at Ambavane Village in Mulshi taluka, 36 tribals have alleged forced acquisition of their property. The tribals today filed an intervention application in the ongoing Sahara court case here in the Mumbai High Court alleging that their lands, measuring approximately 1000 acres, have been illegally and fraudulently acquired by Sahara and they have rendered homeless and jobless since no employment has been offered by the company.
