For the Pink line, the INA and Lajpat Nagar Metro stations have been converted into interchange stations to further boost the connectivity of these markets.
Just days befor Diwali, Delhi Metro has doubled the festive cheer by gifting Pink line to delhiites. The Delhi Metro's Pink line will be opened by Wednesday. Pink line for Shiv Vihar-Trilokpuri Metro was scheduled to be opened in August as per a previous plan but then the deadline got extended.
Pink Line Metro will ease connectivity between North East Delhi and South Delhi by connecting Shiv Vihar and Lajpat Nagar. The Shiv Vihar-Trilokpuri section will have 15 stations that will include Shiv Vihar, Johri Enclave, Gokulpuri, Maujpur, Jaffrabad, Welcome, East Azad Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Karkardooma Court, Karkardooma, Anand Vihar, IP Extension, Vinod Nagar, Vinod Nagar East, Trilokpuri. This part of Pink Line will also provide three interchange stations at Welcome, Karkardooma Court and Anand Vihar.
"SK Pathak will inspect Shiv Vihar-Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake section comprising 15 stations on October 20," said a DMRC section.
For the Pink line, the INA and Lajpat Nagar Metro stations have been converted into interchange stations to further boost the connectivity of these markets. The Sarojini Nagar and South Extension markets did not have any Metro connectivity till now.
Though the locations are well connected by buses, parking continues to be a major hassle for shoppers. Moreover, the markets cannot be reached in the late evening hours because of lack of public transport.
The stations, which will come up very close to the markets (within 50 metres) will facilitate the easy movement of shoppers to and from the markets. The INA Metro station also provides connectivity to Dilli Haat, one of Delhi's major tourist attractions.
With a record height of 21 metres, the Karkardooma Metro Station is also the second highest point on the rail network. The Majlis Park – Shiv Vihar Corridor is crossing the existing Vaishali- Dwarka elevated line (Line-4) 21 metres above the ground and is 10 metres above the existing Metro line.
With the opening of this section, the Delhi Metro network will become 314 kilometres long with 229 Metro stations. After the inauguration of this section, Delhi Metro will have opened over 80 kilometres of new lines this year. All the major corridors under Delhi Metro's Phase 3 are expected to be opened for passengers by the end of the year.
‘15 more cities to soon have Metro network’
India already has a 515-km functional network of metro tracks in various cities and 15 more will soon have over 660 kilometres of tracks for rapid urban transportation, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Monday.
