Title - Mumbai MLAs oppose Metro elevated route - The Times of India

MUMBAI: Cutting across party lines, Mumbai MLAs opposed the coastal road and elevated Metro rail during a meeting with chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Thursday.

In the course of the seven-hour discussion held at the state-owned Sahyadri guesthouse, most MLAs also voiced their protests against the new development control rules (DCR) framed during the tenure of former civic chief Subodh Kumar. Three days after Kumar retired, public representatives took strong exception to the idea, said an MLA.

At the seven-hour meeting, Chavan had to face a flak from Congress MLAs on the coastal road, mono and metro rail project and DC rules issue.
