POINTS ASKED BY PUBLIC RESPONSE BY OFFICER
1. Shri Ulhas Chaudhari from Paryawarniya Grahak
Chalwal raised concerns regarding environmental effects
and carbon emissions during the project execution
caused by congestion, debris below the elevated
structures viz a viz reduction after the project is
implemented, . He also raised the question regarding the
feasibility and need of the metro project viz a viz
strengthening the existing western railway and public
bus transport system run by the BEST in the city. He
also raised concern on the water requirements and
planning for its provision for the project. Drawing
references of the previous infrastructure projects
commissioned by various government bodies in the city,
he pointed concerns on the quality, site management
during and after the project implementation phases.
He also submitted a detailed letter regarding his
concerns.
The need for these metro projects was
established based on comprehensive
transport study and as a part of
assessment and feasibility of these
projects. An extensive EIA study was
being carried out to assess the baseline
conditions and projected impacts
which would take into account the
impacts and suggest mitigation
measures. Such measures will be
implemented.
2. Shri Sunil Sampatrao Shinde from the Aanyay Nivaran
Samajik Santha raised concerns about awarding the
contract to J.Kumar against whom FIR was launched by
the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai in case of
some other work
It was indicated that legal opinion was
sought before awarding the contract to
the said contractor.

15. PUBLIC CONCERNS
 Environmental effects and carbon emissions
 Feasibility and need of the metro project viz a viz
strengthening the existing western railway and
public bus transport system run by the BEST
 Water requirements and planning for it provision for
the project
 Concerns on the quality, site management during
and after the project implementation phases

16. CRITICAL REVIEW
 Adequate time was not given for public hearing, EIA report was not given
to common people so that they can go through the details of the project.
 Base Line Noise level varied from 68 dBA to 87 dBA at different
locations. During Operation of the Metro Rail the noise level emitted by
the machines and the tracks will exceed the permissible limits of 55 dBA
(day) and 45 dBA (night).
 Dust Pollution Levels PM10 (210-320 μg/m3) & PM2.5 (80-105μg/m3)
are not within limits as per the National Quality Standards of 100 & 40
respectively. During the Construction dust emission is likely to be high. It
is a health hazard to the workers and the exposed public

17. CRITICAL REVIEW
 Total carbon credits can be earned by the Metro Line-7 project are
171.66 (based on the reduced amount)
 Pollution reduction
CO : 5451.879 Kg
CO2 : 170973.967Kg
NOx : 695.498 Kg
VOC : 663.202 Kg
Particulates : 13.882 Kg
