The Patna Metro Rail Corporation has recently welcomed its new chairman – IAS officer Shiv Das Meena. He will now oversee the upcoming Patna Metro project, which is estimated at Rs.134.11 billion and expected to run on two corridors by 2024. The project is calculated to benefit more than 26.23 lakh people directly or indirectly. Meena has stepped in at a time when the work on the project is about to commence and he will, as a result, spearhead the progress of the upcoming metro through various challenges and achievements. His previous experience in well-equipped roles as the chairman of NBCC (India); joint secretary, MoHUA, and Ministry of Urban Development; principal secretary, Public & Rehabilitation Department, Government of Tamil Nadu; and principal secretary to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, will undoubtedly guide him in his current position to lead his team towards successfully completing the Patna Metro in tune to global standards.
