Decks cleared for tunneling project in Mumbai

tunneling project
The Bombay High Court allowed tunneling work for Mumbai Metro 3 under the premises of two heritage temples in Mumbai where the two temples - Atash Behrams - are the highest grade temples. The construction will be under strict supervision to ensure that no damage is done to the structures. The petition seeking rearrangement of the Metro-3 to avoid going under the two heritage temples and the high bench dismissed the petition filed against the tunneling work, while also denying the stay order which was granted earlier. Now the MMRCL can commence the tunneling work as the court appeared to accept the recommendations of an expert panel report from the VJTI college, which said the tunneling work was permitted under certain safeguards, which will ensure that there is no damage to the temples or the water of the well there.
