This Friday is going to be quite eventful for the Parsi community. While the group that has filed a petition in the High Court — praying the Metro III underground tunnel not go anywhere under the community's Atash Behrams (sacred fires) — is set to meet officials from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRC) on Friday morning, the community will gather for a massive public meeting in the evening.

The group of HC petitioners, which includes solicitor Berjis Desai, scholar priest Dr Rooyintan Peshotan Peer, structural engineer Jamshed Sukhadwalla, and two trustees of the Shah Varzaavand Trust, who are being represented by senior counsel Shyam Mehta and advocate Zerick Dastur, had written to MMRC last Monday, asking them to provide all relevant documents and blueprints regarding the alignment of the underground tunnel, before the two factions finally meet face-to-face for the court-monitored meeting on Friday.
