The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday began lowering spare parts of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) into the launching shaft for the twin tunnels being constructed under Phase 3-B of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project.

BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani on Wednesday visited the site in the Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari area and inspected the process. Officials, while briefing about the ongoing work, said that the work has commenced nearly three months ahead of schedule, which is expected to accelerate progress on the major infrastructure project.
