BMC, MMRDA to share land acquisition cost for Sewri-Worli connector

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will cumulatively shell out Rs 4 billion for the land acquisition and rehabilitation of 19 buildings for the proposed road expansion on both sides of the Elphinstone Road Rail overbridge.

The MMRDA's Sewri-Worli connector project will also extend the existing road on both sides of the Elphinstone overbridge by 130-160 feet. The majority of the 19 buildings that must be demolished as part of the road expansion alignment are in the F-South civic ward and seven in the G-South civic ward.

Since the expansion of the road is part of the developmental plan of Mumbai, therefore, MMRDA has asked the BMC to bear the rehabilitation cost. MMRDA has also, meanwhile, demolished 850 slums in Kamgar Nagar for the road expansion work and smooth execution of the Sewri-Worli connector.
