PM Modi's Pune Visit Cancelled Amid Heavy Rains, Metro Inauguration Delayed

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to inaugurate Pune Metro's District Court to Swargate stretch has been postponed due to severe weather conditions.

Heavy rainfall in Pune led to the cancellation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to inaugurate the District Court to Swargate underground metro stretch.
The inauguration of the metro stretch, which marks the completion of Phase-1 of the Pune Metro Rail Project, is now delayed with discussions ongoing about a virtual inauguration.
Local authorities faced significant challenges with waterlogging and traffic disruptions, prompting the postponement of the event for safety reasons.
