Meanwhile, Delhi Metro's New Year gift to the capital— the 9.7-km Lajpat Nagar-Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 corridor of the Delhi Metro's Pink Line started its commercial operations
2019 came with a good news for Delhi Metro commuters. Soon, the frustrating wait for getting a mobile network while boarding the train will get over. According to a report in the Time of India, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will soon fix the problem of not enough mobile signal on the metro stretch.
According to the report over 300 personnel have been deployed to install night boosters especialy on Pink and Magenta line stretch.
“Work is currently in progress for providing mobile connectivity on the Pink and Magenta lines. The entire work is expected to be completed next month,” said Anuj Dayal, executive director (corporate communications), DMRC.
Meanwhile, Delhi Metro's New Year gift to the capital— the 9.7-km Lajpat Nagar-Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 corridor of the Delhi Metro's Pink Line started its commercial operations after it was jointly flagged off by Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Manish Sisodia, Delhi deputy CM at the Metro Bhawan auditorium. The new line will decongest the Ring Road as it brings south and east Delhi closer on a direct route on the rapid transit network.
The new segment is part of the 59-km-long Pink Line, which spans from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar, has also made the third busiest railway station of the city, Hazrat Nizamuddin, easily accessible by bringing the metro right at its doorstep.
"This is the sixth time a metro corridor has been inaugurated this year, which is truly a great achievement. The work on the Phase-III of the DMRC has been almost completed with nearly 96 km of it being made operational this year," Puri said. Speaking at the function, Sisodia emphasised upon the need to bring down metro fares without compromising on revenue. "I think Metro fares are very high. We need economic marvel to bring them down," he said, referring to the Metro as an engineering marvel. Discouraging comparison with the fare in other countries, he suggested that the same should be revised keeping in view the per capita and economy income of Delhi
