Work on the fifth and the sixth local train line between Thane and Diva railway stations is likely to be completed by January next year.
In 2008, the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) had planned the fifth and sixth line between Thane and Diva. The project was planned under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project-2 (MUTP-2) and the 9.9-km railway line was supposed to be built between Thane and Diva railway stations.
While thirteen years later, the work is still going on, it is expected to be completed by January next year. The initial estimated cost of the project was Rs 130 crore but it has now increased to Rs 500 crore.
