The Bombay High Court yesterday asked the Mumbai Airport Taxi-Rickshaw Union, which had approached it aggrieved by the Metro III project, to file a fresh writ petition. The union’s drivers had been asked to shift their parking spot from in front of the domestic airport. Meanwhile, GVK and Airports Authority of India, with help from the police, have towed the taxis that were parked there.

The union said that because of the project, the drivers have been asked to shift to a new parking space near the VIP gate and Terminal 1 near gate number 9. Though Terminal 1 is non-functional, they claim that whenever a VIP visits, they will again be asked to move by the authorities.
