The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has allowed the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRCL) to begin work on setting up a casting workshop for the car shed on a three ha plot in Aarey Colony, Goregaon.
However, the NGT has continued to refuse MMRCL permission to construct the car shed for the Metro-3 line, which will run between Colaba and Seepz.
The corporation will construct the casting yard and the offices for the contractors of Package six and seven.
On 19 December, 2017, NGT had ordered MMRCL to halt any activity related to reclamation, dumping of debris, and levelling land in the additional three ha of land, which was allotted to the corporation.
