Facts on the new completion date of “Aug 2011” for the VAG route

The Facts on the new completion date of “Aug 2011” for the VAG route

Of the 12 stations only 3 have reached slab level
Of the 450 pillars for the track only 247 are ready today
No clarity on the design yet, on the bridge over the railway
Over 3KMS of the VAG route, MMRDA- Reliance have no access too yet
Of the stations that have reached the slab level, the fire dept have refused an NOC…

There is no way this quantum of work can be completed in the next 11 months.

Is this another common wealth like situation? this is not about Juhu or pushing for the underground but a reality check!!

Kind regards
