PM flags off Mumbai's first underground metro line, takes a ride
Eight years in the making, Mumbai finally got its first underground metro on Saturday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the first phase of the Aqua Line Metro, a 12.44 km stretch that will stretch from Aarey to the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC ). The entire 33.5 km stretch that will connect Cuffe Parade-BKC-Aarey Colony will be functional by March 2025.
The Prime Minister also made a round trip from BKC to Santacruz, joined by Metro construction workers and beneficiaries of the Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana.
Mumbai residents will be able to enjoy the services of the new line from Monday at 11 am. Regular services will begin the following day, operating from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Work on the project began in January 2017 and construction took place in some of the busiest areas of Mumbai.
Before the inauguration, Modi visited Thane, where he bhoomipujan the Thane Ring Metro project and the new headquarters of the Thane Municipal Corporation.
He highlighted the ongoing infrastructure projects in Mumbai, saying the current BJP-backed government has made significant progress in improving the city's transport system.
In Mumbai, around 300 km of metro rail projects are underway, along with major infrastructure initiatives such as the Thane-Borivali twin tunnel, the Versova-Bandra coastal road and the Eastern Expressway extension, among others, he said.
Modi criticized the previous MVA government for delaying the Metro 3 project by two-and-a-half years, which he said had increased its cost by Rs 14,000 crore.
As Maharashtra gears up for the general elections, the new Metro Line 3 is seen as a vital addition to the city's transport network.
