According to Metro Rail sources, the signaling system and the work on the sliding door of the metro have not been completed yet. It will take some more time to complete all these works.

The launch of this service will not only benefit the people of North Kolkata or North 24 Parganas, it will benefit a large number of passengers from Hooghly and Howrah districts.
As soon as one will cross the Bali Bridge from Dakshineswar, they will find Howrah-Burdwan Main Line, Howrah- Burdwan Cord Line and Howrah-Tarakeswar Line.
