Citizen activists are up in arms over the proposed construction of the 'Multi-Level Robotic Parking Tower' (MRPT) outside Matunga Central Railway station, citing risks to the common public the project would create.
The Petition Group Foundation has written to the authorities, including the BMC and Central Railway, raising strong objections against the MRPT, which is proposed to be 23 floors tall with a capacity of 546 vehicles.
The project, undertaken by the BMC, recently received an NOC from the railways.
Sources said the entire project is aimed at helping a builder who is constructing a commercial complex and needs adequate parking for his customers.
The cost of the project is approximately Rs85 crore and the work is expected to start soon.
