If you thought that in 2013 you would be traveling in relative comfort from Versova to Ghatkopar thanks to the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) metro lineu00a0 one then get ready to be disappointed.

Due to some construction delays, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is now planning to start the line in phases. In the first phase, the metro will run between Versova and Airport road station.

According to MMRDA Commissioner Rahul Asthana, "There are some issues related to construction pending near Asalpha station because of which there are chances that we might have to start the metro line in phases. We will try and see to it that the line will be operational between Versova and Airport road station by mid 2013."
