Mumbai: The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party on Friday accused the Maharashtra government of delaying the commissioning of the Navi Mumbai metro rail line for publicity.
The 11.10 kilometre Belapur-Pendhar line number 1 was thrown open to the public during the day.
Planning authority City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), in a statement on Thursday, had said the line was being open “without an official programme” on the directions of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
