Says Parsi community members will continue to fight ...
... until the entire tunnel alignment is moved outside the premises of both the Wadiaji and Anjuman atash behrams by MMRCL authorities
Now that Parsis have united to save their fire temples, they are unwilling to give an inch or a few metres to Metro III. Last week, an HC-appointed committee categorically ruled out realignment of the underground project but stated it could be reduced by 3.5 metres. However, Parsi petitioners have said this is not enough, and they want the Metro tunnel completely out of the agiaries.

He added, "As of now, MMRCL hasn't agreed to this. Of course, the court will have to decide these issues. We will continue our litigation."

The petitioners had, earlier, submitted a concept plan by architect Hafeez Contractor to shift the tunnel nine metres away and outside the boundaries of the atash behrams.
