Mumbai: After posts on social media and news reports alleged that a new Christian chapel near the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganpati Temple in Prabhadevi is an illegal structure, the local Roman Catholic community has clarified that the shrine replaces a 50-year-old cross that was temporarily shifted for the underground Metro 3 project.

Members of the Our Lady of Salvation Church, also called the Portuguese Church, said that the chapel was inaugurated during the Easter festivities in April. “When the Aqua Line (Metro 3) was being constructed, they requested us to temporarily relocate it and assured us that we could put it back once the construction was completed,”
Benedict Mascarenhas, chairperson of the Bombay Catholic Sabha, Salvation Unit.
