According to metro authority sources, Howrah Maidan and Sector Five metro services will be connected very soon. Metro work in the Boubazar area is almost complete. The service will start very soon.

According to metro authority sources, the Green Line may be connected this year in May. Howrah Maidan-Sector Five metro service may start.

It will take only 25 minutes to go from Howrah to Sector Five. Many daily commuters will benefit. If the Green Line is connected, it will take only 11 minutes to go from Howrah Maidan to Sealdah.

How safe is the metro in the Boubazar area?

The American company International Safety Audit Association examined it for the past two and a half days. Only after getting clearance from this organization, the Commissioner of Railway Safety or CRS may be asked to come by the end of March.

The metro authority will be able to start passenger service in the much-awaited Esplanade-Sealdah section only after getting clearance from CRS.

The distance from Esplanade to Sealdah section is only 2.63 km. The metro authority has faced problems several times in the Boubazar area. And for that reason, cut service has been started on the Green Line.

The metro authority said that the Safety Commissioner will give some opinions after seeing this part. The work has to be completed according to that. That report will go to CRS again. After examining everything, the green light will finally be given. Fireproof certificate has to be obtained from the state. Trial run will also be held.
