NO MORE SKYWALKS :

It is the best news that our city will not be further raped with monstrous Skywalks.

However, MMRDA needs to spend over Rs. 600 crores to conclude that there is no space for
escalators, nor any more funds to flout for Skywalks.

The tragedy is that they have butchered priceless trees of over hundred years - and hundreds of
them – which are irretrievable.

One of the most mindless of infrastructure projects – The Skywalks are the small fraction of the
volume compared to the complexities to that of Elevated Metro Rail and Metro Stations. When
Skywalk does not find space for escalators how can a giant Metro Stations have so many ?

It’s a matter of time that MMRDA will raise their hands for the Metro Project.

Let there be public opinion and debate - how these bunch of insane bureaucrats and our
political representatives should be brought to public justice ?
