New Delhi: The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety on Tuesday gave the mandatory safety clearance to the Central Secretariat and Madi House metro line, the first section of Delhi Metro’s third phase, which will get operational from June 26.
Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu will flag off the train’s inaugural run from the Mandi House station at 9.30 am on June 26, officials said.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today said that the three kilometres long metro line that connects the Central Secretariat Metro station with the Mandi House stop is expected to be functional by this week.
Earlier commuters had to change trains at Rajiv Chowk Metro station to use the Noida-Dwarka line but the opening of this section will provide a huge relief to those travelling on the route to Noida or Dwarka.
The section, which is among the first lines under phase III to be thrown open to public, is expected to benefit 70,000 additional commuters.
