Indore Metro: Final Safety Inspection Scheduled
Indore is preparing for the launch of its metro services, with inspections at five metro stations scheduled for March 24 and 25. The metro’s commercial operations are anticipated to commence by the end of March.
The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS), Janak Kumar Garg, will visit Indore on March 24 for a two-day inspection of the metro line, including five stations and the 5.9km Super Priority Corridor. During the inspection, the CMRS and his team will ride the metro coach to check its speed, set at 80km per hour, and review various safety aspects. They will also use a trolley on the viaduct to inspect the tracks.
The team will assess passenger safety inside the coaches, examine vibration at set speeds, and evaluate the braking system while the train is stationary at the platform. In addition to assessing the metro's operational performance, the inspection team will review the passenger facilities at the stations, including lifts, platforms, escalators, the electrical section, and the operational room. The Railway Board has already approved the metro coaches and tracks. The CMRS's final clearance will pave the way for passenger operations on Indore Metro. CMRS had previously inspected the metro stations and coaches on January 22, and this upcoming inspection is expected to be the final visit before the metro opens to the public.
