Persisting with their opposition to the Maharashtra government’s decision to build the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 car depot at Aarey Milk Colony, environmental activists alleged that the bifurcation of the car depot for the multiple metro projects would lead to land grab in the city worth several hundred crores.
The Uddhav Thackeray government had moved the car depot out of Aarey and planned an integrated car shed for several corridors. However, the Eknath Shinde-led government reversed the decision to shift the Metro car shed from Aarey Colony to Kanjurmarg.
