Mumbai (Metro Rail News): After India experienced an aggressive stand-off in Ladakh at LAC with China, a Mumbai-based charitable trust has come up along with ex-Army personnel named Dilip Abhyankar, a retired Colonel from the Indian Army to write to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to take actions on the Chinese firms who are involved in the metro development projects in the City.

In a letter to Mr. Thackeray, Udaan charitable trust was stated saying, “We appreciate Maharashtra government cancelling the contracts with Chinese companies, but the attempt seems insufficient, given we continue to let Chinese companies dominate the Metro space.”

As per the recent media reports, industries minister Subhash Desai was stated saying that status quo was being maintained in the memorandums of understanding (MOUs) signed with the Chinese companies. In his interview to Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana, the chief minister had said that the Centre must clear it stands on the involvement of Chinese companies in metro development works.
