The Metro Line-3 project, which is facing opposition from environmental activists, got a big boost when the first batch of four coaches of the first prototype train arrived in the city on Tuesday.
Four trailers, carrying one coach each, reached the city traversing 1,400 km distance from Sri City, Andhra Pradesh in 13 days. This project was delayed due to Covid-19 and environmentalists are opposed to the carshed at Aarey Milk Colony.
Recently, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde lifted stay on the construction of the carshed. In the first Cabinet meeting held after his swearing-in, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had asked the additional chief secretary of urban development department, Bhushan Gagrani, to prepare a proposal to restart the work.
