DMRC Closes Chhattarpur Station Gate for Phase IV Expansion

20 Feb 2024 CW Team

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has temporarily closed Gate No. 2 of the Chhattarpur Metro Station to facilitate the ongoing expansion work for Phase IV. This strategic move is part of the larger efforts to enhance and extend the Delhi Metro network, ensuring improved connectivity and efficiency for commuters.

The closure of Gate No. 2 at Chhattarpur Station is a temporary measure undertaken to facilitate the construction activities related to Phase IV expansion. The initiative is expected to contribute to the overall development and growth of Delhi's metro infrastructure, meeting the increasing demands of the city's growing population.

As part of the expansion plans, the DMRC is focused on incorporating advanced features and amenities to elevate the metro travel experience. The temporary inconvenience caused by the closure of Gate No. 2 is anticipated to result in long-term benefits, with an expanded and modernised metro system offering enhanced convenience and accessibility for passengers.

Commuters and residents are encouraged to stay informed about alternative access points during this period, and the DMRC assures that all necessary steps will be taken to minimise disruptions. The Phase IV expansion work remains a critical aspect of Delhi's commitment to providing a world-class metro system that meets the evolving needs of its citizens.
