New Metro train: There is a latest update for Patna residents. While the Patna Metro service was earlier expected to start on August 15, it will now be inaugurated on August 23. Initially, the metro will be operated from only three stations, while earlier there was a plan to start the service from five stations. According to News18 Hindi, the trial run from Bairia Metro Station to the Metro Depot has already been successfully completed. This indicates that the project is now in its final stages. The tracks and signaling systems are almost completely ready.
Why the inauguration date was changed
According to Patna Metro Rail Corporation and the concerned officials, it is taking relatively more time to complete some technical and operational preparations. All aspects are being closely examined to ensure that there is no lapse in security and operation. This is the reason why the inauguration date has been extended by a few days. Although the names of those three stations have not been officially released yet, it is being speculated that these will be the same stations which are closest to the depot and whose preparations have been completed. This strategy has been adopted initially for crowd control and smooth operation.
New pace of development
The Patna Metro project is a big and ambitious transport project for the capital of Bihar. Its objective is to improve the traffic system of the city and provide modern, safe and fast transport facilities to the citizens. This will be a big gift for the people of Patna who have been waiting for this service for a long time. Officials say that work is also going on at a fast pace at the remaining stations, and soon the metro service will be started on the entire route.
Bihar government’s Urban Development and Housing Department Minister Jiwesh Kumar inspected the priority corridor of Patna Metro a few days ago. He said that we are working on the Patna Metro project with full seriousness and dedication. Public safety is our biggest priority, and very soon Patna Metro will be at your service. Instructions have been given to ensure that all safety standards are followed.
