This omission led to concerns about residents of Balajinagar, Dhanakwadi, and Bibwewadi being left without easy access to the Metro.

Shuru mein Swargate-Katraj Metro line mein sirf chaar station tha: Swargate, Gultekdi, Padmavati, aur Katraj.

Is extra cost ka zimma kisse hoga, yeh abhi tak clear nahin hai aur yeh request approval process mein hai.
