In response to several recent suicide attempts on the city's lifeline transport, the Kolkata Metro Railway has begun installing guardrails on the down platform of Kalighat Metro Station.
In a boost to the ongoing Metro corridor, the East-West Metro project has received Rs 906 crore in the Union Budget 2024-25.
The Joka-Esplanade Metro Corridor, which had been facing a major obstacle due to the Indian Army’s unwillingness to allow the construction of the Esplanade Station at B C Roy Market, is expected to see some progress soon.
Union Minister of State for Urban Development Hardeep Singh Puri and Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia will inaugurate the section and Metro will start operating from 4 pm on 31 December
