Mumbai, Oct 20 (IBNS): Mumbai Metro Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) has cleared two more metro projects, the Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan Metro Line 5 and Lokhandwala-Jogeshwari-Vikhroli-Kanjurmarg Metro line 6, according to media reports on Thursday.

These metro corridors will enhance the connectivity between Mumbai and its suburbs.

The Metro line 5 will connect with Metro line 4 from Wadala to Kasarwadavli in Thane while the Metro line 6 will connect Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri in the western suburbs to Vikhroli and Kanjurmarg in the eastern suburbs

The MMRDA, headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, approved the project on Wednesday.

The projects will now be placed before the state cabinet for approval, media reported.
