Mumbai The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, a pet project of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is a step closer to reality with orders for removal of a structure that is currently on the plot earmarked for the terminus.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has issued directives to move a structure of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) that is located on a plot at the Bandra- Kurla Complex (BKC), which is earmarked for the terminus of the high-speed train project.
An MMRDA official, who did not wish to be named, said that the moving of the petrol pump structure will be done soon. “Land allotment was earlier stuck for three years but it is now finalized,” said the official. The MMRDA has allowed alternate land for the BPCL petrol pump at the G block of BKC.
