India’s largest metro network in Delhi

Delhi Metro is India’s largest and busiest metro system, which is operated by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Delhi Metro connects the city to surrounding NCR areas, including Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Bahadurgarh.

Delhi Metro is the most successful metro network in the country. There are 10 color coded lines and more than 250 metro stations on this network. These include underground and elevated stations. Apart from this, there is a museum at the Supreme Court Metro station where people can also experience running the metro.

There is big relief news regarding the Rithala-Bawana-Narela-Kundli metro corridor proposed under Delhi Metro Phase-4. Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has approved to allot Delhi Jal Board (DJB) land to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for this corridor. With this, the way has been cleared for construction of viaduct from Rithala to Rohini Sector-25.

This matter was pending for the last several years. Now after the approval of LG, the construction of the metro line is expected to speed up.

How much and what kind of land will DMRC get?

Under the approval, DJB will hand over 50 square meter land of STP complex located at Rithala on permanent basis (99 years lease) and 1286 square meter land temporarily (for 4 years) to DMRC.

In return, DMRC will pay a total of Rs 75 lakh 50 thousand 353 to Delhi Jal Board. Rs 12 lakh 28 thousand 937 are included for permanent land, Rs 63 lakh 21 thousand 416 are included for temporary land. DMRC will be able to use this land only for the construction of metro viaduct.

Development of Narela will get big benefit

This decision will not only give impetus to the metro project but will also give a big boost to the plans to develop Narela as an education hub, residential area and sports hub. There was a demand for better connectivity in this area for a long time.

Delhi-Haryana connectivity will be strengthened

With the completion of Rithala-Kundli metro corridor, movement between Delhi and Haryana will become easier. There will be less traffic and pollution in areas like Rohini, Bawana and Narela. Lakhs of people will get direct metro facility through 21 elevated stations.

This metro route will be connected to the Red Line

This corridor will prove to be a lifeline for those areas of Delhi-Haryana border which till now did not have direct access to Metro. Narela-Kundli metro route will be connected to the Red Line, which will make traveling in NCR easier.

Delhi Metro performed a feat which had never happened before. Delhi Metro is also called the heartbeat of Delhi, several lakh people travel on different lines of the metro every day. On one such line, DMRC Red Line, in which seven lakh people travel every day, trains keep running day and night. A new tunnel was dug near Pulbangash just below the running line, but the trains above were not stopped even for a moment.

Challenging space and the magic of engineering

This place was very difficult. The metro track above is resting on tall pillars. If there was even a slight disturbance while digging below, the entire track above would shake. But our engineer brothers did such magic that nothing happened. First the soil around the upper pillars was compacted. For this, 180 holes were made and by pouring strong cement in them, the soil was made like a rock, so that the ground would not settle down even after running the machine. Kept an eye on every moment. Various types of meters and machines were installed which kept telling whether the ground had sunk or the pillars had become crooked. Engineers were on duty 24 hours. The good thing is that everything was perfect.

Easy journey after completion of Phase-4

Right now one side of the tunnel has been completed, work on the other side is also going on in full swing. Senior Delhi Metro official Anuj Dayal said, “Even a one-minute interruption on the Red Line would have put lakhs of people in great trouble. We did not let that happen.” After the completion of Phase-4, Delhi’s metro network will be more than 520 kilometers long, that is, after the completion of Phase-4, it will become easier for the common man to go from home to office, market, school.

Delhi Metro Timings Changed: Delhi Metro is the largest metro rail service in the country and this is the reason why lakhs of people rely on the metro every day whether they are traveling to their office or traveling for a long distance. The network of lines here is so spread that a large part of the city is dependent on this network from morning to night. Meanwhile, due to MCD by-elections, the schedule of Metro has changed for two days.

The movement of employees and staff related to voting should be done without any problem. For this, DMRC has decided to start the service much earlier than usual. Passengers will have to change their plans slightly for two days. Because the metro will run differently from its normal schedule these two days. Let us tell you the changed schedule.

Metro will run from 4 am these two days

According to DMRC, during the MCD by-elections, polling personnel can easily reach the metro by metro. Therefore, on 30th November and 3rd December, the metro will start much before the scheduled time. Sunday 30th November is the voting day and on this day the first metro from all the terminal stations will start running at 4 am. Usually trains are not available this early on Sundays. But this time special arrangements have been made.

The metro will run at an interval of every 30 minutes from 4 am to 6 am. So that the crowd pressure does not increase in the initial hours. After six o’clock, the operation of trains will again be on the normal Sunday timetable. That means the situation for the rest of the day will remain the same as on any normal Sunday. People associated with the by-elections will get a lot of relief and common travelers will also be able to catch the metro as soon as possible.

last train will leave at this time

Only the first metro will not run early on November 30. In fact, the last metro of the night will also depart a little later than usual. According to DMRC, the last train from all terminal stations will run at 11.30 pm, which is about 30 minutes late than usual. This means that employees returning from election duty or passengers traveling late at night will be able to reach home easily.

Not only this, there will be a change in the starting timing on 3rd December also. Because the results of the by-elections will be declared on this day. Even on the day of results, the metro will start running from 4 am. On both these days, DMRC’s focus will be to ensure that people engaged in work related to voting and counting do not face any problem in commuting and other passengers also do not face any problem.
