NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro has extended its network across Delhi’s western edge by launching the 4.2 km long Grey Line of Delhi Metro, connecting Najafgarh with Dwarka. Three stations namely, Dwarka (interchangeable with Blue line), Nangli and Najafgarh constitute the line. Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of State (IC) for Housing & Urban Affairs and Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi officially inaugurated the metro.
The inaugural ceremony took place at Metro Bhavan and passenger services on the section commenced in the evening.
Regarding the design of the Najafgarh metro station, an official said, “It was one of the most challenging work to build the Najafgarh station in a congested area and it is a ‘dumbbell’ shaped station (span wise) in its design.”
An 80-meter passageway connects the old Dwarka station of the Dwarka Sector 21-Noida Electronic City/Vaishali corridor or the Blue Line with the new station on the Grey Line, which has come up as part of the extension to Najafgarh.
