MSRDC is headed by Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde, and MMRDA needs NOC from MSRDC as the Metro-4 corridor will go close by the flyovers that are maintained by the MSRDC on Eastern Express Highway
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which is headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has put the blame on Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) for delaying the issuing of no objection certificate (NOC) for construction of Wadala-Thane Metro-4 corridor, despite applying for the same more than a year ago.
MSRDC is headed by Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde, and MMRDA needs NOC from MSRDC as the Metro-4 corridor will go close by the flyovers that are maintained by the MSRDC on Eastern Express Highway (EEH).
Senior MMRDA officials have claimed that they will bring the delay on part of MSRDC to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the war room meeting held to review infrastructure projects. However, MSRDC officials have claimed that MMRDA is not sharing the complete picture.
"We were sent the alignment of Metro-4 after which we have replied back with our observations on the alignment way back in March 2017. We had observed that at several stretches the alignment was too near to our flyovers and we had expected them to reply us back on the safety concerns raised," said a MSRDC official.
MSRDC claims that it has asked the Information Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) to study the structural strength of flyovers on the Western and Eastern Express Highway. "We have faced several issues with MMRDA when it comes to ongoing construction of Dahisar East – Andheri East Metro-7 corridor. MMRDA has changed their alignment at several stretches resulting in they coming very near to the foundation of our flyovers, and this rakes up safety issues," added the MSRDC official.
MSRDC added that the officials from Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) are also in touch with us as their underground Metro corridor between Colaba-Seepz comes on WEH. "We have also asked the IIT-B to study that whether the vibrations caused due to underground Metro work would affect the structural strength of the existing flyovers," the MSRDC official added.
