He has concluded inspection of Phase I of line 7, which is 50% of the total network that we plan to open,” a senior Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) official was quoted as saying by Times of India.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the team of CMRS had arrived in the city on Friday to start the inspection, a mandatory routine procedure that takes place before a metro line can be started. The CMRS clearance is mandatory to begin commercial operations.
