\"In cities like Mumbai, 52 km of the tunnels are digging.
Then we have 26 subway stations to build, mostly in congested areas below the road.
If you see that most stations in Delhi are not on the road, it gives you a lot of flexibility to plan your construction, but when your station is under the road, you also have to deal with the traffic above.
Ashwini Bhide, general manager of Mumbai Metro, told NDTV: \"You also have to take care of the buildings near the tunnel . \".
The subway will connect the crowded western suburbs and airports to southern Mumbai.

Commenting on buildings under fire-fighting temples and other religious sites, MS Bhide said, \"we are protecting their heritage nature underground, and it is not just a religious structure that is affected.
We are going to the Temple, Church and under the mosque.
Under no circumstances will we go under the sanctuary.
\"Nearly 17 kilometers of tunnels have been built, adding nearly 700 m of tunnels per day.
