Residents of Cuffe Parade are having anything but a blast with the latest inconvenience the Metro III line has created for them: lack of clarity over a controlled blasting exercise on the route. On one stretch of the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro, officials are planning on carrying out work for the excavation. On January 5, the Cuffe Parade police station had written a letter to the secretary and manager of the Jupiter Cooperative Housing Society asking for an NOC for the control blasting exercise.
