The iconic entrance gate to Mumbai at Dahisar, which resembles a section of the BMC headquarters, will be now demolished to make way for the Metro Line 9. The gate was built in 2011 after four years of construction work at the cost of Rs 7. Its repairs started in 2019 at the cost of Rs 2 crore.
The MMRDA recently informed the civic body to not beautify it as it is coming in the way of the extension of the Metro line from Dahisar East to Mira Bhayandar. The BMC has given a No Objection Certificate to the MMRDA for the demolition.
