A key obstacle in advancing the Kolkata Metro’s Purple Line (Joka–Park Street) project has been cleared following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) and the Consulate General of Nepal for a mutually agreed land exchange.
As part of the MoU, 409.53 sq metres of land owned by the Consulate General of Nepal will be swapped with 526.34 sq metres of adjacent Metro Railway land.
