Mumbai monorail project may get delayed
Although the development authorities in Mumbai expects to finish off the Wadala-Jacob Circle Monorail corridor by the end of next year, doubts still remain whether it would be completed within time.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is yet to secure space to set up the supporting infrastructure, like sub-stations, staircases and fire-fighting rooms. The plots identified by the authority to set up the infrastructure belong to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
There seems to be lack of coordination between MMRDA and BMC. Despite the MMRDA sending repeated requests to BMC to allow it to undertake construction on the land, the BMC is yet to respond with a definite answer.
The MMRDA officials state that if the authority don’t get hold of the land, they may have to redesign certain portions of the corridor, which will be time-consuming and may lead to more delay for completion of the project.
