  "summary": "The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has made it mandatory to obtain prior approval for any redevelopment or construction activity within a 50-metre influence zone on either side of the Mumbai Metro Line 3 alignment. This move is aimed at protecting underground tunnels and metro structures from potential damage caused by redevelopment projects. The notice was issued by Swetal Kanwalu, Deputy General Manager (Town Planning), MMRC, and applies to various types of activities including drilling, construction, demolition, geotechnical investigations, excavation, and laying of infrastructure. The safety measures also apply to projects that have already obtained an MMRC No Objection Certificate (NOC).",
