The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has cancelled 36 events that were scheduled at the venue since April 1. The biggest one to be hit was the One Republic concert on Saturday evening. It was forced to shift to the NSCI Dome at Worli, a much smaller venue. Although MMRDA commissioner UPS Madan said that they “have given adequate notice to the persons concerned that some events will have to be cancelled as the land is required for the bullet train as well as for Metro casting yards”, organiser of the gig alleged harassment at the eleventh hour by authorities who went incommunicado.
