The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) on Wednesday said that cross passages are being constructed parallel to the underground section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor to ensure safety of the commuters. Cross-passage is a part between the two tunnels which enables movement of people from one tunnel to another in case of necessity or emergency. These cross passages are being constructed to connect both the tunnels based on New Australian Tunneling Method (NATM) technology.
According to NCRTC, two parallel tunnels are being made for the movement of trains on each route. Also, provision of one cross passage has been made in these tunnels at a distance of every 250 metres.
