The Kolkata Metro authorities are expressing frustration with the West Bengal government for withholding clearance to complete the 366-meter stretch of the metro near Chingrighata. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated new metro routes in Kolkata and was informed by the Kolkata Metro General Manager, P. Uday Kumar Reddy, that... the state government was not providing the required land. RVNL (Rail Vikas Nigam Limited) has now sent another letter to the state government regarding this issue. The construction of the Gorkishore Metro is complete, except for the 366-meter girder work. The Metro authorities are appealing for permission to complete this segment. The state government has claimed in the Kolkata High Court that opening the Gorkishore Ghosh Metro station would increase traffic congestion and has suggested the metro should create an underpass at the Chingrighata location. RVNL and Kolkata Metro are willing to build an underpass, but will not open the Gorkishore Ghosh Metro station until the underpass is built. They are requesting permission to work for only 9 hours at night to complete the remaining 366-meter section. A hearing on this matter is scheduled for Tuesday in the Kolkata High Court. The Gorkishore Ghosh, Nalban and IT Centre metro stations are ready, but the state's inaction is preventing the opening of Gorkishore Ghosh station. Metro officials claim they can finish the work if the state government provides permission.
Kolkata Metro ki authorities state government se frustrate hai kyunki woh Chingrighata ke paas 366-meter metro ka kaam complete karne ki clearance nahi de rahi hai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne recently Kolkata mein new metro routes ka inauguration kiya tha aur Kolkata Metro ke General Manager, P. Uday Kumar Reddy... ko bataya ki state government land provide nahi kar rahi hai. RVNL (Rail Vikas Nigam Limited) ne ab phir se state government ko is issue par ek letter bheja hai. Gorkishore Metro ka construction complete hai, sirf 366-meter girder work baaki hai. Metro authorities permission maang rahe hai is segment ko complete karne ke liye. State government ne Kolkata High Court mein claim kiya hai ki Gorkishore Ghosh Metro station khulne se traffic congestion badhega aur unhone suggest kiya hai ki metro Chingrighata location par ek underpass banaaye. RVNL aur Kolkata Metro underpass banane ke liye ready hai, lekin Gorkishore Ghosh Metro station tab tak nahi kholenge jab tak underpass nahi ban jata. Woh sirf 9 ghante raat mein kaam karne ki permission maang rahe hai remaining 366-meter section complete karne ke liye. Is matter par Tuesday ko Kolkata High Court mein hearing schedule hai. Gorkishore Ghosh, Nalban aur IT Centre metro stations ready hai, lekin state ki inaction Gorkishore Ghosh station khulne se rok rahi hai. Metro officials claim kar rahe hai ki woh kaam finish kar sakte hai agar state government permission de.
