Darbhanga Metro Rail Route Announcement
The Darbhanga Municipal Corporation has made significant progress regarding the metro rail project, holding a special meeting to finalize the operational routes for the Darbhanga Metro. This meeting included key figures such as the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, MP, and MLAs, as well as officials from the RITES company, which is responsible for the urban train project. The gathering was attended by prominent local leaders, including Darbhanga District Magistrate Rajeev Roshan, MP Gopal Ji Thakur, City MLA Sanjay Saraogi, Mayor Anjum Ara, and Municipal Commissioner Rakesh Gupta.
Route Planning and Discussions
During the meeting, metro officials presented the proposed routes on a monitor and explained their rationale behind the chosen paths. Detailed discussions were held on the possible first-phase route to ensure it would benefit the maximum number of residents. Attendees voiced their opinions and preferences, emphasizing the need for a metro rail route that would connect key locations such as Darbhanga Airport, the bus stand, DMCH hospital, the district headquarters in Laheriasarai, the railway station, and the new AIIMS facility. The aim was to create a route that functions similarly to a ring road, allowing for future expansions in subsequent phases.
Next Steps for Implementation
Following the discussions, the officials took note of all viewpoints and agreed to map the proposed metro rail route. Although a final approval on the route has yet to be established, it was acknowledged that further meetings would be required to finalize the plans. Once the consensus is reached, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared, paving the way for the commencement of construction work on the metro rail project. The community’s input will be integral to shaping the future of public transportation in Darbhanga.
