Unfortunate decision to shift Metro CarShed from Aarey to Kanjurmarg and that too just to satisfy ego
This decision will increase the cost of the project by at least ₹4000 crore and this cost escalation is assessed by the committee appointed by this Government.

Why such a huge burden just to satisfy someone’s ego? Whom does government want to suffer and for what?

The Kanjurmarg site was earlier considered by the Government. But it was under litigation and stayed by Hon HC.
Some private individuals claimed their rights. The stay was requested to be withdrawn.
But Hon HC wanted the amount to be deposited if the claims got settled in future.

This amount was around ₹2400 crore in 2015.
What is the status of that case today?
And if someone moves to Hon SC, who will be responsible for the delay?

Moreover, since the site of Kanjurmarg is a marshy land, it will require at least 2 years to stabilise it.

In addition to this, all the previous tenders will have to be scraped and a new process will have to be followed.
No DPR or feasibility report has been made for this site.

This means that the Metro project, which would have been in the service of Mumbaikars just next year, has now been postponed indefinitely.
₹400 crore was already spent for Aarey CarShed,₹1300 crore wasted due to staying of project & additional cost escalation of ₹4000 crore

₹2400crore cost burden if in case Kanjurmarg land dispute remains as it was.
What will be today’s cost
Metro project delayed for indefinite period.
What exactly does the state Govt want to achieve by blocking the seamless journey of Mumbaikars?
MVA Govt misleading Mumbaikars
