India's First Underwater Metro Delayed?? 

My suggestion to Kolkata Metro: U guys already installed blue lessor light with effects at EW under the river tunnel, now add some disco lights and open a bar inside the tunnel. It will b really profitable 'under the river bar'. Also, rent the tunnel during the wedding season. Such happens in the London Tube at their 'abandoned' metro tunnel. It will also bring Kolkata one step closer to London.

Haha! Why am I not surprised?! 🙄

Metro development is at its slowest in Kolkata where it is needed most. The rest of the cities are flying ahead.

So disappointed 😢 I was so sure that these 3 lines would be inaugurated before the Elections but now not possible but good luck to the New Garia to Ruby strecth. My question is even after 1 year of delay this New Garia stretch was supposed to open in February 2023 but was delayed because of the signalling system and now signalling system is complete but why only 1 train is permitted to run on each track?? And why is the speed restricted to 40 kmph any reason for that? Now I think Howrah-Esplanade is much delayed so it can be opened with the Esplanade-Sealdah section if they both can be fully ready by mid-2024 or the end of 2024, Majerhat and Dum Dum Cantonment can also be opened in the same dates and also please give us an update of the Esplanade-Sealdah section and make a video on the Dakshineswar 90m viaduct extension and the demolition of Skywalk as it was on headlines few months ago. A crossover is immediately needed at Dakshineswar metro station but State is not allowing to demolition even a small part of the Skywalk! What about the rakes on the Orange line the stretch will open sometime in March but there not even enough rakes for Blue line (10 mins frequency) and Purple line. 13 Dalian rakes are still lying in China and the other rakes will not arrive before 2026 so bringing the Dalian is a huge demand! I would appreciate MRB if you read this comment and answer few of my questions With Regards, Thanks.

Hey MRB, the Metro map is really cool. Thanks for your hard work😄

Its high time Kolkata metro is given to a special purpose vehicle and taken out of Indian railways' hands.

I am sure of the fact that for east west metro there will be no howrah esplanade service, it will be howrah sealdah from day 1. And the reasons are both technical and economical.

As expected 👏 😂😂

its a joke in the name of a metro aur kitna delayed hoga pura decades lg rha he ek metro line banane me

Only way for Kolkata metro to grow is to privatise it

Soothing music...enjoyed...👏👏👏

Janai chilo eta hbe, amio video te wall leakage dekhechi, mone hoyna khub taratari kichu hbe

So the title for INDIA'S FIRST UNDERWATER METRO will go to Pune for the line connecting Civil Court to Swargate

I think it's laughable that even after 1.5 years of trial runs, the Ruby metro has been allowed to run only 1 metro per track @40Kmph, even with signals. Totally hopeless. Tbh the Green line should now be commissioned directly from Howrah Maidan to Sealdah as lots of finishing & decorative work are left in the 4 stations. Idk why are they even rushing to commission the Howrah Maidan-Esplanade section without completing everything. CCRS also mentioned that the Audio advertisements in the rakes are too loud. Idk if metro will look into the matter... it's too loud for the passengers too. Joka metro is a joke anyway so no use discussing it.

Did you all forgot about Mumbai Metro Line 3? A whole article was printed in TOI Mumbai edition of its opening phases. The second underwater Metro will be opened in three phases- one in May, the second having the underwater Tunnel in July and rest by September-October. Mumbai is gearing up for its 4th Metro Line.

The Sector 5 station is named as Sec 5 on the Sealdah line and IT Sector on the Airport line. Why is there a difference in nomenclature? Does this mean that in the future, if we want to go to Airport or New Garia from say Karunamoyee, then we have to disembark at Sector 5 and buy a new ticket for Airport/New Garia?

I am a daily passenger of Howrah-Espanade

55 observations in 1.2 kms… how irresponsible are these people…

0:57 That hole at the stations between the rails, marked in red and white lines is for in case somebody falls on the rails to lay flat down there and survive ?

It will open in 3000

Can you please share any link to the observations... Actually I've been searching for a while now but to no use

Can you please make a video on Pune metro future plans, Nagpur and Navi mumbai metro line 2?

Not surprised lol

Hi MRB been a fan of your work. But why are u not doing coverage on chennai metro? I would love to see u post videos on them. Thanks

এ তো জানাই ছিল Remember, I commented to a gentleman's assertion that some official suggested that underwater operations will start from February. I politely asked about February of which year!!!!

How to read the entire report?

That's why we do CRS.... Safety first❤❤❤

This metro line was expected to be delayed as this is the first of its kind metro in India. Every firat of a kind project faces delays as a lot of tevhmologies and operational realities are understood while working hand-on as theres no readymade work book available. Note- I know there are many underwater metros and trainline in the world, but every underwater project is unique and has its own unique challenges.

Request you to please add voice in the video

point 6 shows severe signs of embezzlement of materials, or bribing of officials who approved the materials.

❤

@MRB As the highlighted issues are not much serious when can we expect revised dates of operation to Esplanade? June 2024 and Esplanade to Sealdah in JUNE 2027? As my 4 th year ends in 2025 I am planning to go for MTech(2025-27) so that on return I could experience Line 2 fully operational...or might take more days....God knows......

Kolkata Metro should be privatised like DMRC to bring more focus on it.

As a Bengali living in Delhi NCR we call West Bengal a Bimaru State and Kolkata a 3rd Tier City. In 10 years Kolkata will be compared to Patna and NOT Delhi Mumbai or Bangalore.

Kolkata is going backward when City ' s moving forward with world class infra.

The (lack of) speed with which they are building this, I am sure Kolkata will not have the first underwater metro in India by the time this is opened to the public.

Why don't they allow auto rickshaws on those stretch till CRS is not satisfied?

Not at all surprised. People will blame the State government for this but its the fault of the Central too. Indian Railways as usual.

Want East west metro from Sealdah to Howrah maidaan to be thrown open by October 7 2024

Please privatize Kolkata Metro.

What is the current status baranagar to barrackpore metro line 5 ?

ভাই কবে আসবো আবার কোলকাতায় ? ভাগ্য হচ্ছে না।

Brohma Janen 😀😀😀

Most unprofessional indian railways authority😠

nowadays metro is like dream for us

Result of rampant corruption, use of low grade materials and then sugarcoating with stupid blue led"s has ultimately led to the failure in inspection

Why MRB is not talking about projects in Chennai? We welcome everyone with a good smile. But you people do not understand our smile.

Kolkata metro😢

Aur kitne din lagenge

The issue is not privatisation. Even DMRC is a complete governmnet PSU! The issue is the West Bengal/WASTE Bengal governments' lethargy and desire to create obstacles towards the Metro. Obstacles such as land aquisition delay, delay in clearances, protests, exiting the project etc. Even if a private company comes in... the TMC goons would extort money from the private companies!

Truth is there are no rakes for the two ready streches overhead Howrah is doomed anyway

I think pune metro is also constructing underwater metro. And at this speed I don't think Kolkata metro will be first underwater metro.

Very bad news for WB and Metro Rail

Metro train in Calcutta is a myth

Really pathetic. Poor quality of supervision. Also what is the point of running New Garia to Ruby at 20 mins frequency? People will take a bus and reach almost Ruby by that time.

It will take full 2024 to resolve the 50 issues, after that the crs will inspect again and again will found 20-30 issues out of 50 most probably and to resolve that it will take full 2025, hoping for 2026

Unfortunately the under water metro won't be starting atleast in next 10years

Noting can happen to Kolkata city development and its metro. It is cursed. Why are there so many obstacles on city development and metro inauguration? Its now 2024 and metro works are too backward than other cities. Kolkata has lost its gory. This city and metro cant compete with other cities and metro systems. And now you need to wait another 50 years to complete entire Kolkata metro project.

Dopahar hoyegache ektu bhaat kher ghumabo

LETS NOT HOPE . USED TO DREAM ABT USING LINE 2 FOR COLLEGE COMMUTE DURING SCHOOL DAYS.NOW IN 3RD YEAR,STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.....Better they stop constructing....haha it was 2018 when I started JEE Prep...joined clg in 2021 now 2024....What a joke.....................my entire college life was hampered due to bus commute and traffic snarls...haha the change in alignment led to disaster and subsequently delay....till now connectivity is poor between Howrah And Sealdah Me in 2025 during my first job:Headlines"Line 2 is going to open before October 2025" HAHA.....JOKE OF THE CENTURY

What do you even expect from india? 😂😂😂😂. I knew from the start it will be delayed

Open the metro stations for the reel makers and make a bar below the river. No need of metro. Worthless!!!

Arre dmrc se hi banwa lete pura railways ko funds hi to release karne honge kyu mattha pacchi kar rahe hai railways ke babu log

Kolkata metro ne phirse aapni aukaat dikha di

Well-done Kolkatans... y'all are also partially responsible for this

We are missing your voice

No one will blame the Central Govt..... but if the metro rail would have been under state... Admin would have been a cry baby😂😂

তুমি বাংলা তে ভিডিও করা বন্ধ করে দিলে কেনো? বাংলা তে ব্লগ করো

as always kolkata is a disappointing city. kolkata metro should be privatised just like other metros. Mamata made such a foolish decision back then, now some uneducated people will come and blame the central government.

Waste bengal as always😂

Crybabies

Kolkata metro is a total flop.

Kolkata metro is biggest joke of century as infrastructure project 😂😂😂
