PUNE (Metro Rail News): PM Modi will likely inaugurate the Ruby Hall to Ramawadi stretch of the Pune metro in the next week before the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) kicks in.
CMRS Nod
Ruby Hall to Ramwadi stretch of the Pune metro received the safety nod from the Commissioner for Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) in the 2nd last week of February.
Yerawada Metro
The metro station at Yerwada will remain inactive or shut down for public use due to the problem with the entry/exit gates. While one entrance near the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Yerawada Kalas Dhanori ward office is ready, work on the other entry-exit point was halted last November due to allegations of traffic congestion caused by the staircase on Ahmednagar Road. Work has recently resumed but will take nearly a month to complete.
Positive Development
This development signifies a significant milestone in the progression of the city’s ambitious Aqua Line, bringing it closer to becoming operational. Completing the 15.7 km Aqua Line promises to substantially enhance residents’ daily lives.
Introduction of Four New Stations
The upcoming stretch will bring forth four new stations along the route, namely:
1. Bund Garden
2. Yerawada
3. Kalyaninagar
4. Ramwadi
This expansion aims to facilitate smooth and trouble-free commuting from the city’s central area, particularly addressing the challenges faced by commuters heading to the airport.
Pune Metro
The Pune metro, comprising three lines totalling 54.14 km, serves as a rapid transit system for the city. Currently, two lines are operational:
1. Purple Line: Connects PCMC Bhavan to Swargate.
2. Aqua Line: Runs from Vanaz to Ramwadi.
3. Line 3: Extends from Hinjawadi to Civil Court via Balewadi.
