Expediting Nagpur Metro project

Bharatiya Janata Party MLC Anil Sole has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to expedite the metro rail project by clearing proposals at the state government level. The memorandum submitted by the MLC states that the land required by Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited (NMRCL) has not been handed over to it. There were some issues pertaining to the urban development department (UDD) that needed to be sorted out. Similarly, the funds sanctioned under 2015-16 State Budget had not yet reached the corporation. Fadnavis assured Sole he would complete the necessary formalities at the earliest. Right now, NMRCL needs land belonging to Special Reserve Police Force (SRPF) at Hingna for constructing a metro rail depot. Although the home portfolio is with the CM, the formalities related to handover have not been completed.
