In the wake of mid-day’s extensive reportage on the MMRDA discreetly shifting a station on the Metro 2B corridor to a new location, without informing any stakeholders, Ashish Shelar, MLA of Bandra West and president of the BJP’s Mumbai unit, met Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Metropolitan Commissioner S V R Srinivas. Shelar has demanded that the National College station be re-shifted to its previous location. Shinde has directed the MMRDA chief to take appropriate action in this regard.
The meeting was held in the presence of former Bandra West BJP corporators Swapna Mhatre and Hetal Gala. As per the earlier plan for the Metro 2B corridor, there will be two stations in Bandra West—Bandra, which was to come up near the Lucky restaurant signal and National College, which was planned near Jivan Kiran Bungalow opposite Western Railway Employees Colony. According to residents, the latter had been shifted opposite Tata Blocks Parsi Colony, starting from Grace Galaxy hotel and extending up to the Maruti Auto Vista showroom on SV Road in Bandra.
