The underground track of Metro will be built on MG Road in 8.9 km. The survey of the private property coming into this part has started. On Tuesday, a two-member team of the Asian Development Bank visited this route. Reached in front of TI Mall on MG Road at 11 a.m. I asked Metro Rail Corporation officials about the alignment. After this, what plans do you have for the displaced? If someone’s employment is affected, then what will be the alternative arrangement for him?

Corporation’s GM, Ajay Kumar, informed me about the new alignment and the proposed station. He said that seven stations will come on this route. They said that it is our endeavour that only government land should be used for them. No damage to anyone’s personal property The team inspected from TI Mall to Kalani Nagar. During the inspection, when paan and tea gumtis were seen, they said that if their business is affected, then we will have to provide other help to start earning. What plans do you have?
