In a bid to connect people of East Delhi with South Delhi, Delhi Metro's Pink Line will be extended to Mayur Vihar Pocket-1 reports Business Today.
The trial run was reported to be completed, and this extension is projected to reduce travel time between East Delhi and South Delhi to less than 15 minutes. Earlier Delhi Metro Pink Line's Lajpat Nagar station was connected to Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus section in August.
The new 9.7 km stretch would also connect Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, the biggest railway terminus of the capital, and Sarai Kale Khan ISBT with the Metro.
The Sarai Kale Khan Metro Station will connect three corridors -Meerut, Panipat and Alwar-with the national capital. The new stations that will be connected with the metro include Vinoba Puri, Ashram, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Mayur Vihar 1, and Mayur Vihar Pocket 1.
Besides, the Noida Metro will also launch a 29.7 km-stretch of Aqua Line next month. Reports suggests that not less than 21 stations in Noida will be connected with the Metro after the launch of this new line, making Metro travel to the national capital New Delhi easier.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
