World Bank officials are worried about the traffic snarls that the Metro-4 and 5 lines are likely to create during construction. The World Bank, which is keen on funding the project that will see the Metro run from Andheri East and Dahisar via the Western Express Highway and Dahisar DN Nagar, are also concerned about procurement of land. On a visit to Mumbai last week, they agreed that the state government has to address the problem.
