Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday announced that trial runs of Mumbai Metro-3 line, which will run between Colaba and Seepz, will be conducted in Aarey Colony’s Marol Maroshi underground site.
The statement said the site for the trial run is not the same as the one on which the controversial car shed for the Metro line was to be located before it was shelved.
In October 2019, Thackeray had announced that he was scrapping the construction of a car shed at Aarey Milk Colony to save the forest in the area. Thackeray had announced that the car shed would be moved to Kanjurmarg, but the move was stayed by the Bombay High Court in December 2020.
