Mumbai: In continuation with their series of agitations on festive occasions, youth activists of the Mira Bhayandar unit of the Shiv Sena played the role of Govindas to register their protest against the BJP-led governance for dangling various projects, mainly, the metro, and then failing miserably in fulfilling its commitments.
Sporting black t-shirts printed with “When will metro start in Mira-Bhayandar,” the agitators formed symbolic pyramids in various parts of the twin-city. The Govindas standing on top of the pyramid waved placards in protest.
Sena legislator- Pratap Sarnaik had recently announced that his party cadres will agitate on each and every festive occasion from Janmasthami and Ganeshutsav to Navratri, Diwali and finally during Christmas for metro services. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority has planned the creation of nine metro stations for the twin-city.
While the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation has finalised the names of the proposed stations, the project has largely remained on paper.
