The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started construction work at the Central Secretariat Metro Station for the Central Vista Corridor today.
The station is being developed under Phase V(A) as an extension of the existing Magenta Line from Janakpuri West to RK Ashram Marg.
The event was graced by the august presence of Manohar Lal, Union Minister of Housing & Urban Affairs, along with Secretary MoHUA and senior officials of MoHUA and DMRC.
The Central Secretariat station will become a triple interchange station, where the new Magenta Line station will seamlessly connect with the existing Yellow Line and Violet Line. This unique facility will significantly benefit government employees and commuters accessing the Lutyens’ Zone and surrounding administrative districts.
The corridor spans 9.913 km with nine underground stations, namely: Shivaji Stadium, Yuge Yugeen Bharat, Central Secretariat, Kartavya Bhawan, India Gate, War Memorial–High Court, Baroda House, Bharat Mandapam, and Indraprastha.
