The proposed Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan monorail corridor, planned as a quick link between the far suburbs and the city, has run into opposition from Thane’s Shiv Sena corporators, and the issue is likely to rock the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) when it comes up for discussion before the elected body this month.Sena corporators are unhappy with the alignment. Also, with civic polls due next year, they do not want any further digging of roads within city limits, especially in areas that are already congested and see regular traffic pile-ups.
The project is being undertaken by the Congress-controlled Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Under the proposed alignment, the monorail will start at Thane (East) near the station and then cross the railway tracks towards the west before heading to Teen Haath Naka, and from there on through the congested Hari Niwas Circle, Meenatai Thackeray Chowk, Golden Dyes and the Kapurbavdi junction, TMC city engineer K D Lala said.
