Another representative DNA spoke to, said, "Sometimes, it's the people on the inside, who are involved in lifting costly materials. Also, we are working on public roads and it's not possible to not allow people to pass along the construction site.

Meanwhile, Pravin Darade, additional metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA said, "Twenty-five per cent of civil works on both Metro-2A and Metro-7 is complete."
