Former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday assured that his party would keep its promise of adding 300 more local train services in Mumbai. In a social media post, he stated that the Railway Ministry was working diligently to decongest Mumbai`s railway network.
“Three hundred new local trains for Mumbai are coming soon, along with a mega rail terminal at Vasai! The approval of three major railway projects will significantly contribute to a prosperous and developed Maharashtra. These projects include the Prayagraj-Manikpur third line, Bhusawal-Khandwa third and fourth lines, and the Manmad-Jalgaon fourth line,” Fadnavis wrote. He also mentioned that a new corridor connecting Mumbai to Purvanchal is part of a broader plan to enhance port connectivity.
