Protesting against the elevated Metro corridor, thousands of residents, students, activists and celebrities congregated at various locations between Juhu and Khar on Friday. They reiterated their demand for the Metro 2B line to be sent underground and appealed to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to give them a hearing.

Apart from residents and students, several well-known personalities, too, showed up to support the cause, including Fr Frazer Mascarenhas, former principal of St Xavier's College, actors Raveena Tandon and Moushumi Chatterjee as well as lyricist Javed Akhtar. Akhtar pointed out that that if the Metro was being constructed underground in areas where bureaucrats live then the same should be done for the western suburbs as well.
