The Maharashtra government’s suspension of Monorail services from September 20 has left scores of contract staff jobless, with contractors under the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority’s (MMRDA) operating arm, Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMOMCL), now serving termination notices. Now, the staffers are scrambling to figure out their next steps.
A letter from one contractor, accessed by mid-day, reads: “Your last working day would be October 25, 2025,” formally ending the employment of dozens of engineers, technicians, and ground staff who had kept the troubled system running for years. While the decision to suspend services was expected, employees say the abrupt manner of their dismissal is “inhuman.”
