THE URBAN Development department has initiated proceedings to remove the stay on constructing Metro-3 car shed in Aarey.
The stay is likely to be lifted by next week, said a top officer of the state government.
“We have examined the entire matter and there is no need to bring it before the Cabinet. We asked the implementing agency, Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), to prepare the proposal and we will lift the stay at department level,” the senior state government official said.
Within hours of assuming power on June 30, the Eknath Shinde-led government decided to reverse the decision of the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to move the Metro-3 car shed from Aarey to the 102-acre salt pan land in Kanjurmarg.
