Parsis have now pinned their hopes of a positive outcome on the out-of-court meeting likely today with the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited, even as a legal tussle between the parties over the threat to the two atash behrams, continues.

In the crucial meeting, community representatives are planning to discuss eight alternatives to protect the Anjuman and Wadia Atash Behrams, as suggested by the petitioners. Certain community members, including Behruz Irani, a petitioner, will be accompanied by architect Karl Wadia for the afternoon meeting. Legal representatives are also planning to put the report filed by technical expert Nicola Della Valle, a mining engineer and tunneling consultant, on record in court, depending on the meeting's outcome.
