Delhi Metro’s Dwarka-Najafgarh section likely to be ready by September
Live MintOver 90 per cent of construction work on the 4.29-km Dwarka-Najafgarh section of the Delhi Metro has been completed and passenger services on the stretch are expected to begin by September, officials said Thursday. Also, the work on the Najafgarh-Dhansa Stand section using a Tunnel Boring Machine also started Thursday, which will bore a 700 m-long tunnel in the 1.2 km-segment, they said. On this section, over 90 per cent of the construction work has been completed and passenger services are expected to start by September," the DMRC said in a statement. It was a tremendous engineering challenge since Delhi is an extremely crowded city and tunnelling had to be done beneath centuries-old buildings and congested localities," the statement said.
