MMRDA Enforces Manpower Policy to Accelerate Metro Projects
Mumbai is building new metro lines.
To finish on time, the government is making contractors hire enough workers.
If there aren't enough workers, the contractors have to pay a fine.
They will also be checked to see if they are following the rules.
