He further said, "Japan’s JICA had funded ₹15,000crore for this Metro project on nominal interest rates. Such decisions will demotivate investors to come forward in future and all infra projects will get stalled which were already delayed for so long in the previous 15-year rule."

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Friday announced a stay on the construction of a Metro car shed project in Mumbai's Aarey Colony. "I have ordered to stop the work of Aarey metro car shed project today. Metro work will not stop but till next decision, not a single leaf of Aarey will be cut," he said.
