As a result, the inauguration date remains uncertain, leaving city residents frustrated despite the corridor reportedly being ready for operation.

Earlier, the inauguration was tentatively scheduled for September 30, prompting the district administration to prepare venues for the event and public gatherings. However, the event was postponed, and multiple alternate dates were proposed, yet the metro has not been inaugurated.
