Residents of Gurugram will heave a sigh of relief as the city’s metro network is all set for an expansion. CEO of Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), V Umashankar recently announced that a detailed project report (DPR) of metro network’s expansion in Gurugram would be ready by 30 November.
The DPR would bring Millennium City one step closer to a second metro link, which will provide connectivity to various city localities between Huda City Centre and Gurugram’s sector 21. The new metro link will hugely benefit the residents of Old Gurugram as it will ease their commuting woes. At present, people residing beyond Huda City Centre have to depend on unreliable intermediate public transport for travelling, such as private cabs and auto-rickshaws, as reported by Financial Express.
The DPR is being prepared by Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES), and it was first announced in February this year. The DPR will detail the route of an expanded metro corridor from Huda City Centre metro station, from where the Delhi Metro rail terminates, up to sector 21 of the city.
