The trial run of India’s first underwater metro in Kolkata will take place soon. However, the exact schedule of the trial run is not yet known. The country’s first underwater ((subaqueous tunnel) metro rail network will connect Howrah station complex on the Western bank of the Hooghly river to Armenian Ghat on the Eastern bank.
On Sunday, this stretch of East-West Metro will witness the movement of rakes. Presently, the East-West Metro Corridor (Green Line) is in operation from Salt Lake Sector V to Sealdah stations over a stretch of 9.3 kms.
