Cable car project for Mumbai Metropolitan Region gets Nitin Gadkari’s in-principle nod: Maharashtra Minister

Mumbai: So, guess what? Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport, just gave the thumbs up for a cable car project in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This is pretty exciting news for the city!

During a meeting in New Delhi, Gadkari met with Maharashtra’s Transport Minister, Pratap Sarnaik, to discuss how this project could really help with the city’s transport issues. Sarnaik mentioned that the cable car system could make getting around much easier, especially between the suburbs and the airport.

The plan is to roll this out as a public-private partnership, which means both the central and state governments will chip in. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is on board to make this happen. With the city’s rapid growth, it’s clear that we need new ways to move people around, and a cable car could be a game-changer.

Gadkari has asked for a detailed survey to see how feasible this project is. They want to make sure it’s not just a good idea but something that can actually work. Sarnaik is optimistic, saying this could really help with traffic jams and pollution in the area.

Overall, this cable car project could transform how we travel in Mumbai, making it easier and more efficient. It’s a step towards a better transport system, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds!
