Mumbai: Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan today flagged off Mumbai's first mono rail between Chembur and Wadala, which is expected to ease some burden from the city's suburban rail and bus services.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar also attended the ceremony, which began an hour late due to the delayed arrival of Chavan.
The service will be opened to the public from Sunday.
The monorail service that will link Mumbai to major stations will begin its first phase of 8.93 km between Wadala and Chembur in the eastern fringes of the city.
