TMC plans ring-rail for Thane

quot;We propose to have a light railway transport in the city which will help decongest Thane and reduce the vehicular pollution drastically,quot; Chandrashekhar said. quot;The route will run on the periphery of the civic limits and cover all areas from Naupada, Ghodbunder road, Mumbra, Kausa and Diva and back,quot; he added.

According to him the German government has evinced keen interest in the project and has also offered financialassistance. However inviting global tenders will become necessary for the project, he said adding that the drafting of the project report may take two months.
