Mumbai Almost eight years after the first Metro corridor between Versova and Ghatkopar took off in June 2014, chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday flagged off two Metro corridors in the western suburbs.
This includes Dahisar East Andheri West Metro-2A and Dahisar East Andheri East Metro-7 corridor. However, on Saturday, only the first phase of both Metro corridors was flagged off. The entire length of both phases is around 35 km.
Along with the chief minister, deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, guardian minister Aaditya Thackeray and other cabinet ministers were also present. Thereafter, operations for the public started at 8 pm and commuters were offered a free ride.
