Barricades installed by the MMRC have taken up most of the space on access roadA Cuffe Parade resident has moved the Bombay High Court against the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) in connection with the construction of the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 underground corridor. Residents from Colaba Woods Sports Complex Marg in Cuffe Parade have said that the MMRC is putting lives of residents in danger due to the Metro work barricades. The writ petition by Robin Jaisinghani prayed that directions be given to the MMRC to restore the road width of the Colaba Woods to at least 12 metres —minimum road width prescribed in Regulation 22 of the Development Control Regulations. According to the petitioner, the MMRC has barricaded the entire road. Meanwhile, the MMRC said, "Vehicular access necessary for the movement of fire vehicles is made available along the service road in front of Venus, Jupiter and Dalamal buildings and Hotel Taj Vivanta" said MMRC spokesperson.
