New Delhi, May 22: Delhi Metro Commuters! There is a good news for you as Delhi metro is going to add a cherry on the cake as the 25.6 kilometres long Janakpuri West-Kalkaji Mandir stretch of the Delhi Metro's Magenta Line will be formally flagged off on 28th this month.

 

The Service will be opened for the public by the Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Passenger services on the stretch will begin from the next day. This section, comprising 16 stations, will be the longest opened so far in Delhi Metro’s Phase 3. With the opening of this stretch, the entire 38.2 kilometers long Janakpuri West - Botanical Garden Magenta corridor covering the city’s arterial Outer Ring Road will become operational.

The highlights of the Magenta Line will be the two new interchange facilities at Janakpuri West and Hauz Khas. The domestic terminals of the Indira Gandhi International Airport will also get directly connected by the Metro.

Commuters traveling from Gurugram will now be able to change trains at Hauz Khas to reach south Delhi and NOIDA. Residents of NOIDA will also get direct connectivity to the domestic terminal of the airport.

With the commissioning of this section, the entire Delhi Metro corridor will expand to 278 kilometers with 202 stations.
