Hinjawadi-Shivaji Nagar Metro project in Pune likely to face delay

Marred with hurdles relating to land acquisition for Metro car sheds, completion of the proposed Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar Metro line is likely to be delayed. Officials from the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA), which is in charge of construction of the Metro line, said that they are consistently engaging themselves in a process of dialogue with all stake holders of the respective areas to resolve the issue. They added that they are hopeful of clearing all the hindrances shortly, but clarified that the on-field work of the Metro project will not begin as early as expected.
