Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated two major infrastructure projects in Mumbai — the Navi Mumbai International Airport and the city’s first fully underground Metro Line 3 from Aarey to Cuffe Parade. The metro is expected to cut travel time from 2 hours to just 20 minutes, while the new airport will handle 9 crore passengers annually once operational. But as Mumbai celebrates progress, citizens still battle waterlogging, potholes, and overcrowded local trains. Is this truly a Rising Mumbai — or still a Sinking City weighed down by old challenges?
