:- Delhi Metro :Introduction
My self Vijay ,a student from Govt. Model. Sr. Sec. School Sarai Khwaja Faridabad is going to tell you about the functions & establishment of DMRC that has become the hot topic of the Day not only for the commuters but also for the residents of National Capital Region of India. DMRC is a rapid transit system serving , Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad in the National capital Region of India. It is one of the largest metro networks in the world. The network consists of six lines with a total length of 210 km. with 147 stations of which 35 are underground. Now the shopping malls have been sprung up of the clean and well equipped stations.
Background:The concept of a mass rapid transit for New Delhi first emerged from a traffic and travel characteristics study which was carried out in the city in1969. Over the next several years, many official committees by a variety of government departments were commissioned to examine issues related to technology, route alignment and governmental jurisdiction. To rectify the situation, the government of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up a company called the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on March 5, 1995 with E. Sreedharan as the managing director. After the previous problems experienced by the Kolkata Metro, which was badly delayed and 12 times over budget due to Political meddling, technical problems and bureaucratic delays, the DMRC was given full powers to hire people, decide on tenders and control funds. As a result the project proceeded smoothly.
DMRC Network:The Delhi metro is being built in four phases. Phase 1 It was completed 65.11 of route length, of which 130.01 Km. is underground and 52.10 Km. elevated. Phase 2 This phase comprises 128 Km. of route length and 79 stations and is fully completed with the first section opened in June 2008 and the line opened in August 2011. Phases 3 & 4 The route length of these phases is 220.5 Km. (112Km.+108.5 Km.) are planned to complete by 2015 to 2021 respectively, with the network spanning 413 Km. by then.
