An X user has challenged authorities to open the Hinjawadi-Shivajinagar Metro line by its March 2026 deadline, vowing to walk shirtless if it's not completed. The user cited unfinished stations and debris as concerns. PMRDA Commissioner Yogesh Mhase stated the 23.3 km elevated line, currently 90% complete, is on track. The Forum of IT Employees (FITE) previously requested a phased opening, prioritizing the Baner stretch for IT workers facing traffic congestion.
