In separate news, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has asked the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to explore the feasibility of constructing an underground tunnel linking Mumbai with the soon-to-be-inaugurated Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). The proposal was discussed in a high-level meeting attended by senior officials, including MMRDA Commissioner Dr Sanjay Mukherjee. With the airport expected to handle around 20 million passengers annually in its first phase, authorities believe a tunnel—possibly connecting Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to the airport—could offer faster, congestion-free access as existing road networks may fall short amid increasing traffic.
