MUMBAI: The area being developed in and around Vidhan Bhavan or Mantralaya station of the upcoming underground metro rail line 3 (Cuffe Parade to Seepz Andheri via Bandra and airport) on Free Press Journal road will house the offices of political parties and government offices besides several commercial and corporate facilities.
The state government on Friday put up a revised GR asking the mumbai metro rail corporation ltd (MMRCL) which is building the 34 km underground mass transit corridor connecting the island city with suburbs to compensate parties and offices with over 1.14 lakh square feet of area at the same location against the acquisition of their land and properties which existed there before their acquisition for the project.
Around seven political parties and 29 government offices had sprawling premises on the land where the vidhan bhavan or mantralaya station of the metro 3 is coming up. For station area development an FSI of 4 is likely to be used as the state government has already given similar permission to Pune metro. The higher FSI will create a huge space in and around the station. Metro 3 will have 28 underground stations besides metro carshed.
