The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) has released first visuals of the newly built Dharavi Metro Station, part of Mumbai Metro’s Aqua Line 3. Constructed using the cut-and-cover method along the banks of the Mithi River, the station faced multiple challenges, including land acquisition issues, traffic diversions, and the relocation of utilities.
Officials have confirmed that full-scale inspections are scheduled around April 10, and services may begin by this weekend or early next week, depending on the outcome.
