Nod for Metro

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: With the Chief Commissioner for Railway Safety giving the much-awaited all-clear signal to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation for public carriage of passengers on the brand new Kashmere Gate-Central Secretariat underground section of the Delhi Metro network, the stage is now set for the running of trains on this seven-kilometre route which will connect some of the most important destinations in the Capital.

The Chief Commissioner for Railway Safety, G. P. Garg, had made a detailed inspection of this section on Monday and Tuesday along with the DMRC Directors, C. B. K. Rao and Satish Kumar.

While a DMRC release on Wednesday said the section would be opened for passenger traffic by the end of this month, the likelihood of it opening in the third week of June is very high.

Mr Rao said now that the vital clearance had been obtained, the date for inauguration of the line would be finalised.
