Proposed lines under Ph-2 of Delhi Metro to be functional by Sept

All the proposed lines under Phase-II of the Delhi Metro will become functional by September and more trains could be expected on the routes that will connect the stadia during the Commonwealth Games, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) director (Electrical) Satish Kumar today said.

Talking to medaipersons at the Delhi Metro training institute here, Mr Kumar said, ''All the proposed lines under Phase-II will be functional by September.''

To a question about new plans of DMRC to meet demand of commuters during the Commonwealth Games, Mr Kumar said, ''Plans in Delhi Metro are made on a long-term basis and are not restricted to the Commonwealth Games, but still we are considering if we can operate more trains on the routes that will connect the stadia during the Games.''

The Metro training modules have evolved after consultation with Hong Kong and Singapore Metros. Methods such as role-playing and computer based training are adopted from these metros, he added.
