The development of Kolkata Metro’s Purple Line is set to experience a delay due to the recent order of the Calcutta High Court. The HC has restrained Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) from uprooting trees for constructing a Metro station in the city’s Maidan area. The purple line will connect Joka with Esplanade (Dharmatala).
The division bench passed a limited order of injunction on RVNL to stop uprooting of trees in the Maidan area and listed the matter for hearing on November 9th.
