The decision regarding the car depot for metro line three is yet to be taken and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has put a stay on the work, but a city-based green activist has alleged that on Thursday afternoon the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) started the work.
Speaking to mid-day, green activist Amrita Bhattacharjee said, "On Thursday at 3:30 pm, MMRC returned to the site again in Aarey to start work and they told the tribal family staying there that the cases would go on in the court for years and because of these court cases MMRC would not stop work. In protest, Aashabai Bhoye and her daughter sat on the ground and asked the officials to take the JCB from over their body."
