Delhi: Halt station for Green and Pink Metro lines
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Tuesday inaugurated the city’s first ‘halt station’ at Punjabi Bagh West Metro station to provide an interchange facility between the Green and Pink lines. The station was inaugurated by DMRC Managing Director Mangu Singh.
According to officials, the DMRC has built a station that connects two operational corridors for the first time. The platforms are 155 metres in length and are connected by a 212-metre long Foot Over Bridge (FOB) with two extra-large lifts on each platform to carry 26 passengers each.
The station will provide interconnectivity between line 5 or the Green line (Brigadier Hoshiar Singh to Inderlok/Kirti Nagar) and line 7 or the Pink line (Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar).
