There is strife in a Metro as a protest has been organised on Friday afternoon at Sacred Heart Boys School in Santacruz. Protestors will gather to demand that the elevated Metro II (Metro IIB) line be built underground. The October 5 action is the latest in a line of protests about this corridor. Metro II will be built in two parts — Dahisar to DN Nagar (Metro IIA) and DN Nagar to Mankhurd (Metro IIB), which will connect DN Nagar to Mankhurd via Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC).
Though protests against the elevated line and support for an underground Metro II have been gaining traction, there are dissenting voices. A group of residents from the western suburbs are firm in their support for an overground line.
