The city unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has warned the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) of launching an agitation if it fails to start the work on the metro rail route from Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar within a week.
The foundation stone for the 23-km metro line was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 18, 2018, at a mega function in the city and operations on the route were expected to begin by December 2019. However, work on the proposed route is yet to start.
The metro line from Hinjewadi to Shivajinagar will be the third line in the city.
