Delay in rehabilitation of PAPs of Mumbai Metro 3 leads to escalating costs: RTIThe Mumbai Metro 3 project's rehabilitation process for tenants displaced by construction has faced significant delays, pushing back completion dates by at least a year and leading to a dramatic increase in project costs. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) had planned to complete three buildings for 576 affected persons...

The completion date for the third building is still uncertain as tendering and construction have not yet begun. These delays have resulted in a substantial increase in transit rent payments to displaced tenants, rising from Rs 2.38 crore in 2017-18 to Rs 46.39 crore in 2023-24. Social activist Jeetendra Ghadge expressed concerns about the project's ongoing delays and the burden they place on both displaced tenants and taxpayers, urging MMRCL to streamline its processes to prevent further delays and ensure the project's completion.
Mumbai Metro 3 project ke liye, tenants ko rehabilitate karne ka kaam bahut der se chal raha hai. Pehle 2024 tak complete hone wala yeh project ab kam se kam ek saal aur der se hoga, aur iske saath project ki cost bhi bahut badh gayi hai. MMRCL ne pehle 576...

Dusri building November 26, 2026 tak ready hogi, aur teesri building ka kab ready hoga, yeh abhi tak confirm nahi hai, kyunki tendering aur construction abhi tak start nahi hue hai. Is der ke wajah se, MMRCL ko displace hue tenants ko transit rent dena pada hai, aur yeh cost bhi bahut badh gaya hai. 2017-18 mein, MMRCL ne Girgaon aur Kalbadevi ke tenants ko Rs 2.38 crore transit rent diya tha, lekin 2023-24 mein yeh amount Rs 46.39 crore tak badh gaya, jo 1,800% ki badhi hai. Isse MMRCL pe financial burden badh gaya hai, aur tax payers pe bhi bahut zor pad raha hai. Social activist Jeetendra Ghadge ne yeh delay ko lekar chinta vyakt ki hai aur MMRCL se apna kaam jaldi se karne ka aur further delays ko rokne ka appeal kiya hai.
