Metro shed at Aarey to be shifted, cases to be withdrawn

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday announced the relocation of the metro car shed project in Aarey, which has been at the centre of a storm since October last year, and also said that cases against activists who protested against the felling of trees for the project had been withdrawn.

Addressing the state through a webcast, Thackeray said the project would now be shifted to a government land in Kanjurmarg. “The Aarey car shed will moved to Kanjurmarg. We have allotted government land for the car shed for Rs 0. We won’t spend a single rupee for acquiring this land,” he said.
