Gang of female thieves, active in Delhi Metro busted; five arrested
All the accused women were sent to judicial custody, a police official said.
Delhi Metro’s Kalkaji Mandir-Botanical Garden line is ready for commissioning as the trials and testing on the 12.64 km long section of phase-3 has been completed.
The mandatory clearance required for inviting the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) to inspect fire safety clearance, licence for working lifts, preliminary Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) reports for signalling and clearance for platform screen doors from the department of telecommunications among others have been received by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
“The papers for scrutiny and detailed examination by CMRS are under submission to his office and after these are examined in depth by CMRS office, further action is expected,” said a DMRC official.

The official also said, since the application involves voluminous data on civil and electrical works, signalling and tracks, DMRC may also have to supply any additional information sought by CMRS office. “After this entire process, it is expected that a suitable date for inspection of the section will be indicated,” he added.
This section will be Delhi Metro’s first ever corridor to be operated using the communication-based train control (CBTC) signalling technology which will facilitate movement of trains with a frequency of 90 to 100 seconds.
With the opening of this section, the people of Noida will get additional connectivity to south Delhi. Currently, for travelling to south Delhi areas, they have to change trains at Mandi House (from Blue Line to Violet Line).
However, with this new section, they will be able to travel directly to Kalkaji Mandir and save on valuable travelling time. Botanical Garden has been developed as NCR’s first ever interchange station.
