The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) on Saturday began the statutory inspection of the delayed Phase 1 of Mumbai Metro corridors 2A and 7 between Dahanukarwadi and Aarey, a stretch of 20 km in the western suburbs.
The CMRS team arrived in the city on Friday to start the inspection, which is a routine procedure before the metro line can be started. A mandatory and necessary clearance of the CMRS is needed to begin commercial operation of the service.
The inspection will go on over a period of one week.
MMRDA metropolitan commissioner SVR Srinivas confirmed the development and said the inspection will go on for a few days.
