This morning, Shailesh Kumar Pathak – the appointed Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety and his team of 5 other officials from the Indian Railways’ northern Circle started a 3-day final safety inspection of the 12.64 km Botanical Garden – Kalkaji Mandir section of Delhi Metro’s new 38.23 km Magenta Line (Line-8).
This visual inspection of the Magenta Line’s is the 6th time an inspection is being held for commissioning a portion of the 162.5 km Phase 3 project and includes its primarily elevated eastern section with 9 stations at Kalkaji Mandir, Okhla NSIC, Sukhdev Vihar, Jamia Milia Islamia, Okhla Vihar, Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh, Kalindi Kunj, Okhla Bird Sanctuary and Botanical Garden.

The CMRS’ team will include today’s observations in their final report which is expected to be submitted to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) by the end of this week. That report will include train operation suggestions, any necessary infrastructure corrections & completions prior to starting commercial operations, and whether an approval or conditional-approval has been granted or not.

Hard work of entire team paying off.
TMRG, who was the construction contractor?
• Pratibha-FEMC JV for Package CC-23: Kalkaji Mandir Station – Lotus Temple Ramp
• Afcons Infrastructure for Package CC-15: Lotus Temple Ramp – Yamuna Bridge
• SP Singla Constructions for Package CC-08: Yamuna Bridge
• SP Singla Constructions for Package CC-82: Yamuna Bridge – Botanical Garden Station
When will janakpuri-igi route get start.
Depends on when the ongoing signalling tests followed by CMRS inspection are completed. Follow along to find out.
There’s still quite a lot of construction work remaining at Janakpuri West. Also, do you know how the paid area interconnectivity between blue- magenta concourses is planned? Because as things stand the walkway from magenta line concourse connects to the unpaid area of blue line, there’s really shortage of space to shift the AFC gates towards the entrance staircase
A dedicated pair of escalators will connect both lines’ platforms. See this tweet from June – https://twitter.com/TheMetroRailGuy/status/873405790748631040
Has the OHE been installed between kalkaji and IGI
I need to double-confirm, but “Yes” as per one source.
The natm tunnel portion between lotus temple &kalkaji mandir was by which contractor I can’t recall you had posted about it about 135/METRE length!
