18 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Managing Director, Dr. Vikas Kumar, led an extensive inspection today that explored a number of locations along the much-anticipated Phase 4 project's Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg line. His thorough examination included the portion of Pitampura that is still under construction from Mukarba Chowk to Madhuban Chowk, as well as the Krishna Park Extension Station and the Mukundpur depot. The busy inspection showed that the construction efforts along the route were moving forward at a respectable rate. Remarkably, almost 55% of the civil work has already been finished, indicating a major acceleration of the project's schedule. With 22 well-placed stations throughout its 29.26 km length, the Janakpuri West-RK Ashram Marg corridor is one of the longest in the country. Dr. Vikas Kumar stressed the importance of this corridor's contribution to improving connections between important parts of the capital, relieving commuter congestion, and strengthening Delhi's public transport system as he walked around the building sites. The DMRC's resolute dedication to providing top-notch metro services is still unyielding, and Phase 4 is set to completely transform the city's transit system. With every milestone reached, Delhi's goal of building an efficient and more accessible metro system becomes closer to reality and offers its citizens hope for a better, more connected future.
