Thane decides to now have internal Metro

THANE: In another switch of plans, Thane Municipal Corporation has given the green signal to construct and operate an internal high-capacity Metro, instead of the proposed light urban rail transit.
A proposal was tabled last Wednesday at the general body meeting of TMC and elected members cleared it.
A civic official said there is a need to strengthen the internal network of the Lake City, so initially TMC had proposed an internal Metro to connect various parts of the city to the Metro line of Ghatkopar-Kasarwadavali, but later switched to light urban rail transit, which was then cleared by TMC.
