Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the underground Metro corridor from Civil Court to Swargate. The new phase of Pune Metro would ensure hassle-free commutation of lakhs of passengers.
“We are constructing new phases for Pune Metro. As many as 3.5 lakh people travelled by Metro for immersions during the Ganpati festival. PM Modi will inaugurate the new Metro route and perform the ‘bhumipujan’ of another route on September 26. Pune will become one of the best urban accommodation centres in the coming days,” he said.
While informing about PM Modi’s Pune visit, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on September 21 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new underground Metro in Pune and lay the foundation stone for an elevated route. He is also likely to address rallies in the city.
The PCMC-Swargate Pune Metro corridor is 17.4 kilometres long and includes 14 stations. The line between District Court and Swargate will be functional from September 26. The government has planned to add two extensions to the route, one from PCMC to Nigdi and another from Swargate to Katraj.
One of the entrances of Swargate Metro is proposed at Ganesh Kala Mandir, which would cater to the flux of people generated from Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Passengers would also enjoy a subway connectivity to MSRTC, PMPML and Metro in future.
