The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has urged that over and above the proposed 22.9-km Rithala-Narela hall as a part of the Ph-IV mission, a small spur could also be deliberate to raised serve the area, officers mentioned on Thursday. Narela is being developed as a housing hub by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The DDA and the DMRC are working collectively for higher facilities in this upcoming area of town.
“Joint site inspections have taken place from time to time between DMRC and DDA on the corridor. We have received a letter from DDA regarding contribution of Rs 1,000 cr in installment for the corridor,” a senior official mentioned.
The DMRC has urged that one single alignment can not serve all the area with only one hall, he mentioned. Therefore, in addition to the unique hall already proposed between Rithala and Narela (22.9 km), a spur of 5.6 km, from Puth Khurd to Holambi Kalan, could also be deliberate, the DMRC mentioned.
“This spur from Puth Khurd to Holambi Kalan is suggested to serve the future developments in the area. However, these alignments have not yet received the mandatory approvals from the government,” the official mentioned.
