For subway paintings made through the Mumbai Metropolitan Area Development Authority (MMRDA) in and around Mumbai, at least 6,000 employees are required. “We have between 3,000 and 3,500 employees elsewhere. Even though it has begun to arrive in the city, closure in states such as Bihar and Jharkhand has limited numbers,” said an MMRDA official on condition of anonymity.
At the beginning of the closure in March, mmrDA had about 11,000 employees at the sites. In addition to the subway, MMRDA is also implementing the 22 km sea bridge linking Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. While more than 5,000 employees were available on site prior to closing, only 2,247 employees were on site by the end of July.
For Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), which operates the maximum and fully underground metro-3 (Colaba-Seepz) complex, about 8,100 employees are running on site, instead of the nearly 15,000 employees provided prior to closing. As of June-July, only 5,600 employees were available on the site, according to sources.
Due to labour shortages, Maharashtra’s chief minister, Uddhav Thakeray, also asked state agencies in June to employ bhoomiputras or “children of the land” on the subway and other infrastructure paintings to continue paintings and rely on staff who had left the state.
