Khar elevated rd plan: Amid uproar, BMC relents for now

After stiff opposition from the citizens, the BMC, for now, has put on hold the proposed Rs2,400 crore elevated east-west connector over the Khar subway. The officials have found that some objections raised by the citizens are valid. Hence, a final decision will be taken after verifying the concerns, said a senior civic official.

The bridge department has also sent a proposal to civic chief Bhushan Gagrani, informing him about the citizens' demand to cancel the tender. Gagrani said, "We have not cancelled the tender yet. However, considering the strong feelings of the local residents, we have held it back till we reach some solution."
