MUMBAI: The BMC has been asked to vacate the 4.2-hectare plot in Bandra-Kurla Complex earmarked for the bullet train terminus before September by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). It is currently being used for a Covid field hospital.
The fresh push for the terminus comes on the heels of the change in state government as the previous dispensation led by Uddhav Thackeray was seen as stonewalling on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed corridor, considered a dream project of PM Narendra Modi.
