New Metro Rail Project: The Madhya Pradesh government has approved the consultancy fee for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of the Ujjain-Indore-Pithampur Metro Rail Project. In the first phase, this line will be extended from Shri Mahakaleshwar Ujjain to Lavkush Chauraha, Indore and in the second phase from Lavkush Chauraha to Pithampur. This decision was taken in the cabinet meeting held at the ministry last Tuesday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. According to the news, the consultancy work has been assigned to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited at the rate of Rs 9 lakh per km (including GST).
Nearby suburbs will also be connected
According to ANI news, Urban Development and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said that the state’s metro project is not limited to Indore and Bhopal only, but through this the nearby suburbs will also be connected. He said that our metro project is very big, which is not only for Indore and Bhopal, but also to connect the surrounding areas.
