Trial run for Mumbai Metro-3 at Marol Maroshi underground track: CMO

Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray has decided to hold a trial run for Metro-3 railway line at Marol Maroshi on an underground track. Thackeray asserted that location was outside the Aarey Colony forest and not a single tree at Aarey Colony would be cut for the trials for Metro-3 line which runs between Colaba and SEEPZ.

The statement released by the Chief Minister’s office (CMO) said the ramp was being put near Aarey, but it was outside the protected forest. “In order to solve the problem of traffic congestion in South Mumbai, it has been decided to conduct trial run of Colaba-SEEPZ metro line at Marol Maroshi,” said the release.
