Work begins on Haryana Metro’s Ballabgarh-Palwal extension

Haryana’s chief secretary and chairman of Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC), Sanjeev Kaushal, declared on July 24 that the groundwork for the ambitious metro extension from Ballabgarh to Palwal has been set in motion. This significant expansion is set to cover a distance of 25 km, bringing much-needed improvements to the public transport infrastructure in the state.

After presiding over the 53rd meeting of the HMRTC Board of Directors in Chandigarh, Sanjeev Kaushal asserted that the expansion was a significant step in improving public transport infrastructure in Haryana.

On June 27, a team of RITES and HMRTC officers visited the proposed metro extension’s alignment, and their results revealed that the overall length of the corridor will feature 10 tentative stations along the route.

According to reports, Sanjeev Kaushal asked HMRTC officers to undertake a complete scientific assessment at metro stations in order to find ideal locations for parking spots, receive passenger comments, and design measures to increase ridership. HMRTC Chairman also specified that the poll must be completed methodically, with feedback from all stakeholders, such as commuters, passengers, and locals. He also directed the HMRTC to create specialised social media handles to allow for the smooth sharing of passengers’ comments and opinions.
