Work began on a 1.4-km stretch between Vikaspuri and Krishna Park Extension
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation began the first tunnelling drive on the upcoming Phase-IV network on a 1.4-km stretch between Vikaspuri and Krishna Park Extension on Thursday.
The tunnelling began from Vikaspuri in continuation of the Magenta Line tunnel, which was constructed for the currently operational Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West corridor, officials said.
DMRC spokesperson Anuj Dayal said: “Two parallel circular tunnels for up and down movement will be constructed on this stretch, which is part of the 2.2-km-long underground section from Janakpuri West to Keshopur. The lowering and assembling process of this 73-metre machine began in October last year.”
