CMRS to inspect Majlis Park-South Campus section next week

The Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will inspect the over 20 km-long Majlis Park-Durgabhai Deshmukh South Campus section of the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro for three days, starting February 26.
The testing on this stretch of the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro was successfully completed recently.
The 59-km-long Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor (Line 7) of the metro network, also known as the Pink Line, is part of the Phase-III project, and trial runs on its other stretches have also been conducted, starting last year.
"The Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will inspect the Majlis Park-Durgabhai Deshmukh South Campus section from February 26-28," a senior official of the DMRC said today.

The corridor, including this stretch, will open in parts, by June 2018.
Most of the mandatory clearances required for inviting the CMRS to inspect the section, including fire safety clearance, license for working lifts, preliminary independent safety assessment reports for signalling and platform screen doors (PSDs), clearances from the department of telecommunications, have been received by the DMRC, a senior official had recently said.

The Majlis Park-Durgabhai Deshmukh South Campus section has 12 stations, including, three interchange stations Azadpur, Netaji Subhash Place and Rajouri Garden.
"The metro train on this stretch will also cross Dhaula Kuan at a height of 23.6 m (as high as a seven-storey building) to reach South Campus from Majlis Park," the DMRC said.

On February 7, trial runs had begun on the over 10-km-long elevated stretch (IP Extension-Maujpur) of the Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor, on which the new signalling technology, Communication Based Train Control (CBTC), will be "rigorously tested".
