Thane, Apr 3 (PTI) The Metro Line 9 rail service between Dahisar East and Mira Bhayandar will be inaugurated on April 6, Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik said on Friday.
Talking to reporters here, he said the inauguration of the service got delayed due to certain factors.
“We were waiting for the safety nod first, which we have received…Now the date is set for April 6 for the inauguration of the route,” Sarnaik said.
Once this service starts, people in the region will be relieved as this was a long-pending demand, he said.
When asked about photos of several prominent political leaders with self-styled godman Ashok Kharat, arrested on rape, cheating and other charges, Sarnaik said, “Leaders and politicians come in contact with many people and several of them call them throughout the day. In some cases, people even click pictures with the leaders and move with them. But we do not know the credentials of all of them.” “In this case he turned to be a notorious person,” the minister said.
He said it was the Mahayuti government that brought out his misdeeds, and a probe was underway into all his wrongdoings. PTI COR NP
