Metro rolls out to Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, phase-II almost complete

A crucial link to the main Commonwealth Games venue of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium - the Central Secretariat-Sarita Vihar corridor - rolled out to the public on Sunday, just hours before the inauguration of the sporting extravaganza.

The 15-km corridor, which will facilitate the travel of people attending the Opening Ceremony of the Games, was inaugurated with much fanfare; DMRC Managing Director E Sreedharan was present at the Central Secretariat station.

A brand-new Standard Gauge train began its journey from the Central Secretariat station at 8 am after it was flagged off by the Station Master in the presence of Sreedharan.

The line is part of the Central Secretariat-Badarpur corridor, whose deadline was September 30. But, the DMRC decided to throw it open till Sarita Vihar only as some signalling work is pending on the small stretch from Sarita Vihar to Badarpur.
