The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has claimed that the National Green Tribunal has declared that the restriction on new project is limited to only 100 metres from the boundary of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and there are no restraining orders against the Metro car depot, but the NGO Vanashakti has refuted these claims.

On Wednesday, MMRC Managing Director Ashwinin Bhide issued a statement, “National Green Tribunal during the hearing in Pune on Wednesday declared that restriction on new project is limited to 100 metres only from the boundary of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and there are no restraining orders against metro car depot. This is positive development for Metro-3 project. NGT has further asked MMRC to present a compilation of areas consumed in depots of Delhi, Kolkata and other Metros. MMRC will provide all necessary details asked by NGT before the next hearing scheduled on January 19, 2016.”
