MMRDA Opts for Charkop Depot After Scrapping Uttan-Dongri Metro 9 Plan Amid Protests
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to scrap its plan to construct a car depot for Metro Line 9 at Uttan-Dongri due to strong opposition from local residents concerned about environmental damage and the felling of approximately 12,000 trees. The authority will now utilize the existing Charkop car depot, which currently serves Metro lines 2A and 7.
