Overview
- Opening the Worli–Cuffe Parade section with 11 stations will complete the 33.5 km fully underground Aqua Line linking Colaba to Aarey/SEEPZ.
- On October 3 at 2:44 pm, a Worli‑bound train was evacuated at Santacruz and taken to the BKC loopline for inspection; the service was canceled and MMRCL denied any fire or smoke.
- MMRCL said other Line‑3 trains ran on schedule after the incident, though some passengers reported crowding on adjoining services.
- Separate glitches later delayed Lines 2A and 7 between Dahisar and Andheri, with MMMOCL reporting services resumed and returned to schedule within about an hour.
- MMRCL leadership, including MD Ashwini Bhide, inspected Kalbadevi, Girgaon and Vidhan Bhavan stations, and authorities project about 45 minutes from Cuffe Parade to the domestic airport and roughly 1.4 million daily riders after full opening.
