The Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro may have been built years ago, but the city continues to pay for it. After wrecking the road along the stretch, the MMRDA handed it back to the BMC without bothering with repairs. Three years on, the civic body has already shelled out R150 crore to fix the road, while the Metro authority refuses to cover the losses.

Not only is the BMC bleeding money over the repairs, but it also has to wait for permission from the traffic department to continue the work. The civic body has spent R100 crore on the ongoing reconstruction of the 4.2-km stretch between Andheri station in the east to Sakinaka junction as a concrete road.
