With Phase-II of the monorail nearing completion, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) carried out a 10.6-km trial run successfully, on Republic Day. This is not the first time that the MMRDA has carried out a trial run away from the public glare. Last year, on Independence Day, a 3-km trial run was carried out between Wadala and Acharya Atre Nagar. “We carried out a trial run on the entire stretch between Wadala and Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk of Phase-II on January 26 and it was successful,” said Sanjay Khandare, additional metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA.
