The Ministry of Railways is accelerating efforts to commence train operations on the Kolkata Metro鈥檚 Green Line, which spans from Salt Lake Sector V to Howrah Maidan. Once operational, this corridor will establish direct connectivity between Sealdah and Howrah, marking a significant advancement in the city鈥檚 transportation infrastructure. This development will integrate two major railway terminals within the country鈥檚 oldest metro network for the first time. A recent milestone in this process was the inspection conducted by Sumeet Singhal, Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) for the NF Circle. He carried out a detailed review of the Esplanade鈥揝ealdah stretch, examining essential components such as track and tunnel integrity, the ventilation system, train operation protocols, and emergency preparedness measures. This inspection is a crucial prerequisite before any new metro segment is opened for public use. Currently, the Green Line鈥攁lso known as the East-West Metro鈥攃omprises two segments: Green Line-1, which runs from Salt Lake Sector V to Sealdah, and Green Line-2, stretching from Esplanade to Howrah Maidan. The upcoming launch of the Sealdah鈥揈splanade segment is expected to be a key milestone in modernising Kolkata鈥檚 metro system, significantly improving urban connectivity. It will enable faster, more convenient travel between Howrah Maidan and Salt Lake Sector V, fulfilling a long-standing demand of daily commuters and boosting public transport efficiency in the city.
