New Delhi: The Central Secretariat to Mandi House route of Delhi Metro will be thrown open to public this week. "The Central Secretariat Mandi House section has received the mandatory safety clearance from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) and the line is expected to be opened for commercial services for the public this week itself," said Anuj Dayal, Executive Director DMRC on Tuesday.
The date of opening the route has not yet been firmed up. The 3km-long underground corridor consists of two stations--Janpath and Mandi House--where interchange facility with the currently operational Line 3 (Dwarka Sector 21 NOIDA City Centre) is provided.
Earlier commuters had to change 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.
