"MMRDA asked for two small vacant plots with no trees in order to begin the site work along JVLR. Now with an alternative arrangement made, only one plot, which measures about 1500 sqm lying between JVLR and Adani Electricity management institute, is being used for the Metro site work for the last year and shall be used temporarily for the next one year as well. It is again clarified that no land in Aarey is required for line 6 as alternative arrangements have already been made," stated the press release issued by MMRDA.
