Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta made a surprise visit to the RK Ashram Marg Metro station, marking it as a future major interchange hub. The station is crucial in linking the operational Blue Line with the Magenta Line, forming part of the 28.92-km-long corridor from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg under Phase 4 of the Delhi Metro project.
During her visit, Gupta assessed the progress of construction by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), mentioning that the Metro is integral to Delhi's daily commute. She pointed out that sections between Janakpuri West and Krishna Park Extension, and from Deepali Chowk to Majlis Park, are already operational while work on other stretches continues.
Gupta lauded the engineering feats achieved despite challenging conditions, emphasizing the use of advanced technology and safety measures. The expansion aims to cut travel time, ease congestion, and lower pollution, with future plans focusing on the Magenta Line's extension to Inderlok via Indraprastha.
