While the Swargate to Katraj extended route on the Pune Metro line 1 has already been approved by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the state government and is now awaiting the Centre’s nod which may be given very soon, Khadakwasla MLA Bhimrao Tapkir’s demand for adding another metro station (Balajinagar) on the route is likely to further delay the project which has already been delayed by three years.
On Wednesday during the ongoing winter session of the state legislative assembly in Nagpur, cabinet minister Uday Samant responded to Tapkir’s demand for adding another metro station on the Swargate to Katraj extended route. “The government plans to send the proposal to the Centre after the state cabinet gives its nod,” Samant responded to Tapkir.
