While dedicating to the nation two additional railway lines connecting the Thane and Diva suburbs in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) via video conferencing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday did not miss the opportunity to remind the Maharashtra Chief Minister of the importance of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train, a project which has taken the backseat under Maharashtra’s tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
“Ahmedabad-Mumbai high speed rail is country’s need and it will strengthen Mumbai’s identity as the city of dreams. Completing this project rapidly is our priority,” Mr. Modi said.
