Mumbai: Hours before Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is set to flag off Metro 2A and 7, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) announced that it is renaming one more station in Borivali owing to the demand from the locals. The MMRDA had earlier rechristened 15 of 17 stations on the Metro 2A corridor to make it more location-specific.
Mandapeshwar Metro station on line 2A will now be known as IC Colony Metro station, as demanded by locals.
Thackeray is scheduled to inaugurate operations of Metro-2A between Dahisar and Dahanukarvadi, and Metro-7 between Dahisar East and Aarey around 4 pm on Saturday. Thereafter, operations for the public will likely begin on Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
