A portion of the Joka-Esplanade Metro corridor has received clearance from the commissioner of railway safety, paving the way for commercial services.
Commercial runs between Joka and Taratala are expected by December, said Metro authorities.
“The commissioner of railway safety has given the clearance. It is subject to certain stipulations which are to be addressed before we start commercial runs,” Arun Arora, the general manager of Metro Railway, said on Friday.
