The principal period of the proposed
East West Metro railroad administrations in Kolkata will be
operational most recent by June 2018, Babul Supriyo, Union Minister
of State for Urban Development, Housing and Urban Poverty
Alleviation, said here on Monday.
Proposed in 2008, the ₹5,000-crore
East West Metro Railway venture means to interface eastern and
western edges of the city over a 15-km stretch crosswise over two
stages.
Slowed down work
Stage 1 of the task – an (approx) 8
km stretch – will associate the IT center of Salt Lake (in the
East) to the city's focal part, Sealdah.
"Stage 1 ought to be operational
by June 2018. Be that as it may, I am attempting to propel the
initiation by six months to December 2017," he said amid an
intuitive session composed by the MCCI.
Development work that had arrived at a
stop throughout the previous four years has as of now started, he
included. At first, it was an issue over movement of a few families,
especially squatters and ghetto occupants, along a 365 meter extend
that falls in the middle of the proposed course associating the city
to Salt Lake.
Sources demonstrate that some 43-odd
families – 35 inhabitants and 8 landowners – should have been
moved.
As per Supriyo, the issues have been
"determined" post working of an extra number of sanctuaries
separated from installment of "financial remuneration".
Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation (KMRCL)
and the West Bengal Government have effectively assembled 60-odd
interim safe houses to help migration.
(KMRCL is an extraordinary reason
vehicle, set up for development of the metro. At first, it was a JV
between the West Bengal Government and the Ministry of Urban
Development. Later the Railway Ministry assumed control over the West
Bengal government's stake.)
Stage 2 stuck in an unfortunate
situation
In any case, re-finding these families
is only one part of the issue. Take a shot at the second stage too
has stopped as a result of comparative intricacies.
The second period of the task will
associate the twin urban areas of Kolkata and Howrah, covering a
stretch of around 7 km between Sealdah (in Central Kolkata) and
Howrah Maidan (West of Kolkata). This part endured essentially in
view of course realignment and inaccessibility of area. This
realignment will include not only an additional 2 km to the course
additionally build costs by an expected ₹750 crore, as indicated by
report by Rites.
The Minister excessively affirmed the
cost heightening as a result of the course re-arrangement.
In any case, the issue, Supriyo said,
is that the re-adjusted course would require crisp clearances from
the Archeological Survey of India (ASI). The proposed course (new
one) would guarantee development being completed inside of a 40 meter
span of the legacy structure – "Old Currency Building".
"We have concurred, on a basic
level, to the course realignment proposed by the State government. In
any case, new laws don't permit development with a 100-meter span of
ensured landmarks. We have to take clearances and authorizations from
the ASI, might be as an uncommon case, before work can begin,"
he said.
