Residents and activists in Mumbai are working at a stretch to ensure that the route from Andheri to Bandra of Metro-II to be constructed underground as an elevated project would damage a lot of commercial and residential establishments. Various citizen groups have been campaigning for nearly two years for this cause. Activist Shyama Kulkarni of Action for good Governance and Networking in India (AGNI) had said that the Juhu Vile Parle Residents’ Association had already wrote a letter to both the Chief Minister and also to the ministers concerned to this project in Mumbai.
Metro II is estimated to cost nearly Rs 110 billion and this project encompasses area limits of 33 km connecting from Charkop in the North to Mankhurd in the East. The infrastructure will be an elevated project which will criss cross all the major railway lines with 27 stations along the main city routes. An agreement was recently signed between Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) a part of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in a ceremony which was attended by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan. The Metro-II is expected to commence from 2013.
