Mumabi Metro Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopapar (VAG)

 
This is the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) metro construction ongoing on Versova road in Andheri West. The pillars and staircases have blocked entrances to many restaurants, shops in this stretch, also blocking building gates, breaking down compound boundary walls. Most of these buildings are more than 25 years old, and there is speculation about how the buildings will react to the vibration once the Metro line is operational here.
What do you have to say about the Mumbai Metro (VAG)?

Rickshaw Stand


Now its easy for commuters to spot a rickshaw stand from a distance, especially if they are new to the area. These signs have been installed all over Navi Mumbai at all rickshaw stands, and should be seen in Mumbai too, very soon.
Till now, many rickshaw stands had no sign, and could be identified as rickshaw stand, only because we know it's there, or because we see a number of autorickshaws queued up there.
This stand is right opposite Millennium Towers, Sanpada which alone has a residential population of over 5000 people.
