The idea of Mumbai Metro 3 CarShed at Kanjurmarg proposed by Hon CM Uddhav Thackerayji by integrating line 3 & line 6 is already rejected by the expert Committee set up by Hon CM himself!
#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

Here’s how Aarey land was the only feasible option to complete the Mumbai Metro project in time, at a reasonable cost & how the environmental impact mitigation made it sustainable.

Attached is the ToR (Terms of Reference) wise findings of ACS Manoj Saunik led Committee, appointed by the present MVA Government.
#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

Aarey CarShed was planned as green facility with factors like reducing carbon footprints, solar panels, waste water treatment & recycling, LED lighting to reduce energy consumption. (Document attached is from the report of MVA Government Committee).
#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

This is how the further delays will lead to more increase in carbon emission and why Aarey site is environmentally more beneficial than impact caused by felling of trees.
#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

Our earlier Government in 2015 considered the Kanjurmarg option but due to delays & multiple litigations it was finally decided to give up.
The attached references from MVA Government committee makes the point even more clearer.
#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

What we get to know from the site inspection report by Resident Deputy Collector - RDC (Additional Charge), Mumbai, dated 17th January 2020 about Kanjurmarg land, is that it was still under litigation.(Document attached).

#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

If Kanjurmarg land selected,complications like need for significant changes in MetroLine6 need to be understood.Ongoing works need to be suspended immediately,right from review to redesign to reconstruction need to be done.Moreover,question on possible operationalisation remains!

Worst suffering for Mumbaikars will be that Metro which was scheduled to be commissioned in December2021,will be delayed by 4.5long years!
Additionally,looking at present conditions of Kanjurmarg land,ground improvements&filling works need 2years,that too after award of contract

Huge changes will be required in tenders & contracts and just imagine the cascading impact from the list given below...

#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

Shifting of depot at Kanjurmarg would not fully address the requirements of line 3 and it will hamper the frequency of operations of both, line 3 & line 6.

#MVAbetrayMumbaikars

Running a mixed stock of trains on the Aarey to Kanjurmarg portion of line 6 is bound to lead to operational complexities on line 6 and would also hamper line 3.
This will affect operational efficiency of both the lines and cause operational losses too.

Here is the chart showing overall assessment of the losses to the economy due to long delays (by Committee appointed by MVA Government).

Even the letter by Mumbai Collector dated 1st October 2020, of handing over of Kanjurmarg land, mentions that all cost arising from pending litigations shall be borne by MMRDA.

Finally, I say that...
I respect all the environmental activists and want to emphasise that CarShed at Aarey was decided when there was no choice left.
But now, how would these activists justify CarShed at a salt pan land with mangroves & that too on a reserved forest

Because 76% tunnelling work for the project is already done but no car depot for next 4 to 5 years will be an endgame for financial feasibility of the project.
Needless to say all cost escalations will be borne from passengers’ pocket through tickets.
