The Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd (CBM) Metro Rail II has remained a non-starter ever since the bhoomi pujan in 2009. Latest in the list of reasons for delay is sunlight, or rather, the lack of it. Neither Reliance Infrastructure nor the State government has been able to come to a conclusion on the proposed car-shed at Charkop and Mankhurd that is to be constructed over a long stretch of mangroves.

It is uncertain if the car shed will be built over the mangroves at Charkop. Alternate plots of land are being considered. File pic
