Mumbai Metro Line 3 Phase Misses Independence Day Deadline
The last part of Mumbai's Metro Line 3, which was supposed to be finished by August 15, won't be ready on time.
This part goes from Worli to Cuffe Parade.
The delay is because they are still building at two stations due to the congested area, and it's taking longer than expected.
The new goal is to finish it by the end of August.
This metro line will make it easier to travel from north to south in the city.
Also, the Chief Minister will open some other projects on Independence Day.
The final phase of Mumbai Metro Line 3, connecting Worli to Cuffe Parade, will miss its August 15 deadline.
The delay is due to ongoing construction at two Kalbadevi stations.
Completion is now expected by the end of August.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will inaugurate other infrastructure projects in Mumbai on Independence Day.
