The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has invited tenders to appoint a consultant to clear forests between the Subhash Chandra Bose stadium at Bhayandar and the proposed car depot at Dongri in Uttan to build the Mumbai Metro Line 9. This particular section of the line has been opposed by villagers of Raigaon and Murdha as it is allegedly going to displace some locals.
An MMRDA official said, “We have invited tenders for the appointment of a consultant for getting forest clearance for the construction of Mumbai Metro Line 9 from Subhash Chandra Bose stadium to the proposed car depot at Dongri in Thane district, including the foundation of EHV [extra-high voltage] towers for the Mumbai Metro Rail Project.”
