Maharashtra Legislative Council Chairman Ram Shinde on Tuesday travelled by the newly operational Mumbai Metro Line-3 corridor after attending nearly seven to 10 meetings throughout the day. With little time left before boarding a flight on Tuesday evening, Shinde opted for the metro line instead of road transport to reach his destination faster.

Sources close to Shinde, who accompanied him on the metro, said the Maharashtra Legislative Council Chairman was delighted with the experience and described the Line-3 service as an important addition to Mumbai’s urban infrastructure. Further, during his conversation on the metro, Shinde is said to have discussed the project and maintained that such infrastructure not only strengthens the city’s image but also provides much-needed relief to daily commuters.
