The 17.8 km long Shiv Vihar- Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake section of the 59 km long Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor (Line 7) of Phase 3, also known as the Pink Line is all set to opened for the 25 lakh passengers of Delhi Metro.
The corridor which will become operational on Wednesday (October 31), will be a major boon for the residents of the North and east Delhi as this corridor extension of the Pink Line will have a three major interchanges at Welcome (With Red Line), Karkarduma and Anand Vihar ISBT (with Blue Line).
With opening of this line people the most congested areas known for heavy traffic congestion such as Shiv Vihar, Gokul Puri, Maujpur and Jaffrabad will be benefitted.
“The beginning of operations on this section will lead to reduction of fares on multiple routes in the network. For example, for commuters traveling from Dilshad Garden to Vaishali, Kaushambi, Anand Vihar, Karkarduma, Preet Vihar and Nirman Vihar, there will be a reduction of Rs 20 on per trip. Similarly, there will be reduction in fares to many of these stations from Shahdara and Welcome as well,” said Anuj Dayal, Executive Director (Corporate Communication), DMRC.
