Not only has the CR's idea of building a mega outstation train terminus at Parel received funds, but the much-hyped Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) III, which aims to convert the entire fleet of suburban locals into air-conditioned ones, has also received an in-principle approval, with an allocation of Rs 1 crore to kick start the work.
