The Bombay High Court on Thursday told the Union and State governments to forget past conflicts and make a new beginning on the Metro 3 line project.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G.S. Kulkarni said the Centre and the State should resolve their differences outside court and decide whether or not the Metro car shed should be shifted from Kanjurmarg to Aarey Colony, some portions of the latter being declared a forest area.
The Union government wants to go ahead with the project at Aarey Colony, as decided by the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Maharashtra. However, the current Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ruling alliance wants to shift the car shed from Aarey Colony to Kanjurmarg and save thousands of trees.
