After the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) extended the Pune Metro rail service operational hours till midnight from September 23, the initiative is gradually gaining momentum despite persistent rain over the weekend.
In light of the ongoing Ganesh festival, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had issued directives to Maha-Metro officials to extend the Pune Metro rail service’s operating hours until midnight for the last seven days of the festival. The aim was to assist devotees in visiting pandals during the extended hours.
