Good news for those who have been feeling left out of consideration when it comes to DMRC routes. North, northwest, west and south Delhi will all be connected by one of the longest in Delhi Metro network, the Pink DMRC Line.
Successful Trial of Pink line:
The trial runs carried out on the 20.6 km-long Majlis Park to Durgabhai Deshmukh South Campus stretch of the upcoming Pink Line (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) were “successfully” conducted recently, and the section is awaiting clearance from the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) — said the Delhi Metro, as reported by IANS.
Last stage of Inspection :
-
The newly completed stretch of Delhi Metro’s Pink Line is scheduled to undergo inspection by the safety commissioner between February 26 and 28, said DMRC

The safety inspection is the final stage and if the segment gets the go-ahead green signal from the Commissioner, it can be made open for commercial operations to the public anytime, officials added.

The Pink Line is a construction line of the Delhi Metro, a rapid transit system in Delhi, India. The line is a part of Delhi Metro Phase III network. It consists of 38 metro stations from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar, both in North Delhi.

The Pink Line is also known as the Ring Road Line, as the entire line passes alongside the busy Ring Road in Delhi, that witnesses massive traffic jams everyday.

This section is the first one to be opened under the Pink Line
