Viren Shah: what about thousands of crores used for Common Wealth Games?is that financial viable for our country?if CWG is viable then why not underground Metro Lines?

To The,

Honorable Chief Minster

Maharashtra.

Respected Sir,

Our federation supports to protest against elevated route of the Mumbais Metros second line.As we all know that Metro is good for commuters and it will also ease the traffic problems of our city but not at the cost of inconvenience to thousands of  residence and commercial  unit getting affected throughout their life time.

We strongly condemn MMRDA s decision of  going for elevated Metro whereas it can go underground as per expert opinion by which noise pollution and traffic will also be reduced considerably rather then elevated route.Just because its not financially viable?what about thousands of crores used for Common Wealth Games?is that financial viable for our country?if CWG is viable then why not underground Metro Lines?

After all it is for the mumbaikars welfare only.

Why to make thousands of life miserable just for financial viable?Difficult to digest such anti public move by the MMRDA Commissioner.Sooner the MMRDA change its stand better for Mumbais infrastructures which is  already under severe pressure due to rampant construction activities going on in Mumbai city.

MMRDA s skywalk project is also total failure and waste of public fund and by making city road more congested.Skywalks are not also used by most of the  commuters due to no elevators or escalators facilities in any of skywalk and now its occupied by beggars,anti social element and  encroachers during monsoon for their shelter.There is no securities also provided on skywalk for commuters safety.Skywalk was not required if hawkers were remove from footpath all over mumbai railway stations.

How MMRDA expects old and senior citizens to climb up and down 2 floors of skywalk?is that  viable for them?crores of rupees of public funds have been wasted instead it  should have been used to make railway staircases into escalators/lifts which would have benefited lakhs of  handicapped/senior citizens tremendously.

Mr Ratnakar Gaikward is not fit to hold such an important post and he is not  even public friendly neither he listens to the problems  of affected people nor he understand or  comes out with a practical solutions for our mumbai city.

Mumbai city needs more people friendly and practical commissioner who understands problems of our city and its infrastructure development without putting mumbaikar into hardship for life time.

 our members also had to suffer due to unnecessary skywalks all over city and now due  elevated metros in suburb.

We request your good-self to re look at the proposal of of Elevated Metro line and make into underground Metro.
