Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, in his role as MMRDA chairman, seems to be on a Metro stations dropping spree. In a surprising move on Tuesday, without soliciting public opinion or suggestions, Shinde removed a crucial future interchange point for public transport in the eastern suburbs by deleting the Amar Mahal Junction station from the Mumbai Metro Green Line 4 (Wadala-Thane) map. This marks the fifth station to be removed since construction commenced.
