The Opposition in the Maharashtra legislative council on Wednesday urged the state government not to impose the proposed Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway on farmers, but CM Devendra Fadnavis said that the project would bring a positive change in people's lives, reported the PTI.

The issue was discussed in the Upper House of the state legislature, during which the opposition members cited objections raised by farmers in Kolhapur and Sangli districts in Maharashtra over acquisition of their farmlands for the proposed project, according to the PTI.
