New Garia-Dakshineswar Metro
Metro trains should start running up to Dakshineswar by the end of February, officials have said. A trial run has already taken place on the Noapara-Dakshineswar stretch of the north-south Metro line. Once operational, the new Metro link will benefit thousands from the north of the city, places like Baranagar, Bonhooghly, Dunlop, Belghoria and further north. Ever since the Tallah bridge was closed to traffic in the second half of 2019 (it has since been demolished to make way for a new one), a large section of these commuters have had a harrowing time commuting.
Anticipating heavy rush of commuters on Christmas, the Kolkata Metro Railway has decided to run 216 services from 7 am to 10.30 pm on December 25, an official said on Tuesday. While the first service will start from both ends - Dum Dum and Kavi Subhash at 7 am and from Noapara at 7.09 am, the last service will leave Kavi Subhash and Dum Dum at 9.30 pm and from Noapara at 9.25 pm, he said. Services will be available every seven minutes during the morning and evening peak hours. The Metro official said that e-passes will not be required for senior citizens, women and children below 15 years, but these will have to be produced by other passengers between 3 pm and 8 pm on Christmas.
