Tired of twiddling its thumbs while the cabinet committee forinfrastructure takes its own sweet time to decide the fate of the Worli-Haji Ali Sea Link (WHSL), MSRDC officials have asked for an appointment with the Chief Minister to discuss the issue and seek answers as to when it can start working on the project.

More than a year ago, the contract for construction of the WHSL was awarded to the Reliance-Hyundai consortium, but the work was never flagged off, after issues cropped up over the casting yard for the project. The MSRDC now wishes to scrap the contract with Reliance-Hyndai and take over the project. At its board meeting held in August 2012, MSRDC had referred its fresh proposal for the WHSL to the state cabinet committee on infrastructure, which was to take a final call.
