The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has replied to queries of the state government about financing the proposed metro railway project in the city.

Municipal commissioner Mahesh Pathak told reporters that the PMC had sent the queries raised by the state government to the consultant for the project, Delhi Metro Railway Corporation (DMRC).
