Mumbai Metro Line 11: Public Invited to Share Feedback
Imagine a new subway line, Metro 11, being built in Mumbai!
This line will go from Anik Depot to the Gateway of India.
It's like adding a new road, but underground!
The government wants to know what people think.
They're asking for suggestions and concerns before they start building.
This project will go through busy places like Bhendi Bazaar.
They plan to build underground stations, with only one station at ground level.
The project is paid for by a group from Japan.
They need to cut down some trees and may need to change some buildings.
They will listen to the public's ideas before making the final plans.
If you have ideas, you can tell them by August 20th!
