Summary:
Several Parsis and some high priests from two Parsi temples have been opposing drilling work for two tunnels for the Metro 3 line. The MMRC, however, told the HC that some high priests had met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis before work began, and all issues were explained to them and their consent was obtained. The petitioners told the HC that MMRCL was making two tunnels near Azad Maidan as part of the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ corridor. Earlier this week, four Parsi high priests had filed a petition in the HC seeking, among other things, that the ongoing drilling work for the two tunnels near Azad Maidan be stopped till further orders from the court. The MMRC said none of the trustees of the two temples had objected to the work..
