Patna DM Urges Speedy Land Acquisition for Metro Project

Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh has directed officials to expedite pending land acquisition and compensation cases to advance the Patna Metro Rail Project. During a review of the metro's construction progress, Singh emphasized removing obstacles to ensure timely project completion and early public benefits.

Singh highlighted that 75.9 acres have been acquired in Ranipur and Pahari Mauza for the metro depot, with Rs 2.39 billion already paid to 413 landowners and Rs 840 million deposited with the authorities. He urged officials to set up a camp to speed up compensation payments and ordered the demolition of 36 buildings in the area by next week to clear space for the depot.

Further directives included removing encroachments at the Khemnichak station site and relocating the Radha Krishna temple near PMCH to facilitate the underground station's construction. Singh noted that possession of land for multiple stations, including Jaganpura, Ramakrishna, Patna University, PMCH, and Mithapur Viaduct, has been secured.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is currently constructing six underground stations as part of the Patna Metro project. Singh urged all involved to complete the work within the stipulated timeframe, highlighting the metro's potential to improve public transportation and reduce congestion in the city.
