Santragachi-Howrah Maidan Metro Rail | Kolkata Metro | Santragachi to Dhulagarh Metro Rail 

Did a lot of homework for this video! Had extensive discussion with Kolkata Metro too..! Hope you like it! Also don't forget to share with your friends! 😊

State government can't take a stake in Kolkata metro but can spend crores on painting the city in Blue & White and fixing trident lights all over the city. Had very high expectations from Mamta Government but now it feels that we have been dejected. Thinking whom to vote in 2021 as all the parties are corrupt. - A Howrah resident. 😭😭😭

Pisi proposed metro project without Paying cost Ministry of Railways - Paisa laya ?

@MetroRail Blog, one of your best work till date.

South Howrah has always been neglected, although it has the potential to generate revenue as high as other the other outskirts of Kolkata. As Nabanna came in, only few places around it was developed. Santragachi metro is a must.

Truth has been spoken. Telling the truth is not easy my friend. Kudos to the entire team of MRB.

If state Government doesn't bare half of the cost how Kolkata will become London? London Tube is 400km long

অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ এক্সটেনশন এর ব্যাপার টা এতো সুন্দর ভাবে তুলে ধরার জন্য।

Folks, keep your political ideology aside and vote for an alternative in 2021... Bengal needs development at an alarming rate to minimize the East India West India concrete imbalance.. Even our 7 North Eastern sisters are getting developed at a faster rate.! Vote wisely.

I live in Santragachi and this is the most accurate thing you'll ever see. Well done sir!

So you said it finally that the policy of WB Govt has put the nail in the coffin of Kolkata Metro. The city which has brought the concept of metro to this country, today it is sulking in despair. Such an irony.

Santragachi is one of the major nerves of Kolkata. The sheer volume of commuters can be seen if one stands at Rabindra Sadan and Esplanade for a few minutes. Not to mention Santragachi and Nabanna has huge bus stand that can be used as Metro stations

It's 2023 October now, Howrah Maidan Metro is yet to open in December till Esplanade, Sealdah to Sector V is already operational, let's see after the opening of the full stretch (Esplanade-Sealdah), the expansion towards Santragachi starts or not. As of now the Haldiram side is delayed due to funding issues (state denied funding again so centre didn't approve). Centre already approved 6000 Cr for new rakes, aluminium 3rd rail and platform screen doors for Blue line recently. Majher Hat to Esplanade section of Purple line is approved and L&T is working on it. Let's hope after the current ongoing works get done the new line works will start soon. Edit: it's Feb 2024 now, still the Howrah Maidan - Esplanade metro operations haven't started yet. CRS visit has been done twice now and some comments were made which the metro authority is implementing now. Majherhat station of Purple line will also open very soon as high speed trials has been done, so now instead of Joka - Taratala, metro will run from Joka - Majherhat. New Garia - Rubi section of Orange line has been given green signal also to commence operations.

Yes, running metro rail cannot be the responsibility of railways alone. The state government should come forward and show interest to bear a certain percentage of the cost of construction and operations. For the future interest and convenience of its own people.

Your enthusiast is tremendously inspiring. As the discussion goes on, I actually tend to believe that this might be a thing for tomorrow. But, somewhere around the corner, God is smiling 😆. He knows I’ll not be able to ride this metro in my lifetime. Let’s hope for my ghost 👻.

Santragachi arm of metro is a must to ease traffic snarl otherwise all efforts would be unfullfilled.extend from how maidan through shalimar and conclude it up to santrag🎓

That's the reason change of Government is crying need for looks and development of West Bengal as well oldest metro city Kolkata!!!

enjoyed this video and the part 1 video too...lot of good information and analysis!

Great work and proposal. I am 60 now and from this locality, shall I be able to see this dream come true in my lifetime.

Nice video.Like from Jabalpur

You are very much right. When all of the cities are making joint ventures , Kolkata is far beyond each cities due to its political administration and we are supporting them. Indian railway is absolutely right. There must not be any metro untill WB govt becomes a cost bearer. People needs to be suffered for their concious blindness.

Very informative video! Keep it up😊

I got it from this extremely important video that state goverment participation through sharing of expenses is necessary which our state government not being serious you kindly devlop public pressure through your popular mechanism.

Please continue 'The Marvel Transits'.I am waiting for it.I have already commented the list of videos that we want in this channel in your previous videos and also sended email to you.

Also our proud "Kolkata" need to expand around both sides...but govt is Just focusing on saltlake and Newtown only....

Make the construction video of kolkata metro route wise. Specially noapara dakshineswar and noapara barasat metro. Also the east west metro. If possible give some information from esplanade to majherhat metro construction. Also show the construction video or information regarding new garia baruipur metro. Also give some updates regarding sector 5 to teghoria and sealdah to esplanade metro work.

This video should be watched by every person in Bengal, I am from Santragachi and I feel the need of metro everyday while traveling.

Tkanks to indian metro for quick service for us within 2000

Feeling very sad for santragachi metro 😭😭😭😭😭

The way you describe is amazing 🔥

❣❣❣Metro should be constructed in all SMART City❣❣❣

They have money to pay clubs and organize Melas but they dont have money for Meteo.. What a shame

Thanks for this upload. I wonder why after so many years, we still do not have links between the most important transit points which leads into and out of Kolkata i.e. between the main rail terminals, links of different parts of the city with Salt lake and parts of greater Kolkata, and obviously, the link between airport and most important rail terminals. Metro rail eases traffic and takes away much tension from daily commuters as well as travellers.

Very nice and informative video. Thanks to all of your team members. Can you make a video on feasibility of following Hyderabad L&T model in Kolkata?

Thanks Dada for your good info.

Well informed narrative. Please carry on.

Joyville homes is kind of outskirt kolkata...hope metro will reach there..excellent video by the way

It's good to know that this project was only shelved and not completely rejected. I guess the metro authority should focus on the existing extension to Howrah via the underwater tunnel. Projects like these take time. In the meantime, the state government too needs to sponsor metro constructions on PPP model like DMRC.

What happened to channel marvel transits no new video come there

I think privatization can help a bit... State govt don't even bother about the Metro Rail... Sanctioned projects have died... its really sad.. but... govt must look into the matter... to promote growth in the Kolkata metro..

east west metro not going to airport!!! This is permanent, I can't believe this.. Please make a details video on this issue...

Yes you are correct. Without Santragachi metro authority don't have proper practical experience. Jai Hind

That's true. Why will Indian Railway bear entire cost? Every other cities are rapidly expanding their metro corridors. TMC is more interested in politics, syndicate, cut money and corruption than infrastructure projects and development. The government has deep rooted itself in corruption. This needs to change. 2021 will show the change.

Proposed projects may or may not come true. But we have seen that metro project in Kochi had been completed in three and half years. That is a state of the art project too. In Nagpur too a state of the art metro project has been completed within a very short period. In WB simply acquiring land near by pass for east west metro had gone through so many complications. There has been change in its route adding more complications. Noapara to Dakshineshwar metro of only 4 km is not completed in more than 10 years. I am now 70 and I will be happy if these projects are completed within my life time.

A parallel mode of public transport or expansion of Andul road is immediately needed at Dhulagarh Andul road region. Andul road is totally chocked due to overcrowding of vehicles. And hundreds of Totos are the cherry on the top. There is no interconnection road also between Andul road and Kona Expressway. If the metro project gets approved today also, it will take minimum 3-5 years (in a very optimistic way) to get completed. Till then what??? Sadly nobody is raising the issue. Kona Expressway, Belepole and its surrounding areas are getting facelift and expansion as few of the VIPs reside there. But nobody seems to bother about Andul road. Despite the fact that by Andul Road the distance to Second Bridge from NH6 is almost 30% less. It could have been the perfect load sharer of Kona Expressway.

So sad. So if West Bengal Government is not taking part we will not have any new corridor in Kolkata!

Fantastic compilation. Yes, This State Govt only forced IR to take over Kolkata Metro, so she is directly responsible for the non development of Kolkata METRO.

kolkata is the city of joy... also I am from kolkata..😊😊😊😊😊

The voice over is so good.

First view!

It’s time we change the state government!

👍

I have a suggestion there is a metro from kalyani to airport over kalyani express way.....from kalyani its going on pillar & viaduckt and from nimta to airpot section on under ground is it possible????but after-all its bengal the land of full uncertency.

Can anybody say when will kolkata metro service will resume

2nd view

Is there any update on howrah maidan- srirampore metro line?

Good video to tell the truth!!

And why State govt is so interested in making too many unplanned flyover which prohibiting metro

So what about the routes upto kalyani or naihati.....🤔

Is possible Joka to Amtala metro route ?

Bro funds come as a barrier. Centre does not want eastern India to be infrastructurally strong. Alas.

Good

Very soon it will be in political manifesto regarding extension of Kolkata Metro till Dhulagarh and also in Hooghly district if not now..

Bro I'm very happy because Howrah maidan to Santragachi to Dulhaghar because I live in Ramrajatala

Have any update further on it ?

what is the status of Dakhineswar metro??????

Ia Mumbai metro projects are stopped or workers are working on it

Hopefully soon metro will start from dankuni to howrah

Moral of the story is neither central government nor state government is concerned about people. They are concerned about political profit. 👏👏

Santragachi obdi kobe metro hobe?

For current West Bengal Government it is a big 👎🏻

Nice & very much informative vlog by you, I hope by now you have improved with the microphone.

Extend also to Andul, as that along with Dankuni, are expected to be major entry exit point to Kolkata for trains coming from South and going to NE or North Bihar. Like extending the Daksineswar Metro to Dankuni. Onve the EDFC is completed, Dankuni will become a major business hub. With DFC between Kolkata and Kumbai and KGP to Vijaywada also sanctioned, the Sankrail, andul terminal will also become a major business hub and hence extendin the metro till there, is imperative. As for the Haldiram Extension, why do they not have dual guage till airport? That way the EW Metro can also start from Airport and would be far more effective.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SECTOR V TO HALDIRAM METRO?

Santragachi Metro is most important in any other new metro project in WB

What about maheshtala metro line? Any proposal?

What about the underwater Metro, which is supposed to go through tunnel below the River Bed of the Ganges to Kolkata???

This TMC govt is worthless.

In 2004, The westbengal government gave 33% of project cost to Tollygangue-New Garia metro project, though the Railway did not recognise it in a proper way.

Where is dhulagarh??

A metro project takes 20 years to complete in Calcutta. Extensions are unthinkable in this situation. Let the ongoing projects, which are over delayed, complete at the earliest, then extension could be thought off. Railways will not burn its fingers further in an inhospitable terrain.

The pace of metro rail extention in Kolkata is very tardy in contrast to the steep rise in population. Metro rail projects needs to be prioritised and new metro routes should be explored in other two tier cities in Bengal like Siliguri and Asansol. Concerned authorities ought to consider the matter seriously.

Please give an update of Noapara to Barrackpore and Barrackpore to Kalyani for which survey has already been made.

I think some MNCs need to set up offices in west Kolkata (Howrah) side to ease the flow of commuters. If Dhulagarh and it's surrounding areas will be planned and build like Newtown then it would be great for job seekers and decongest central Kolkata and sector V and Newtown areas.

This is one of crying need of the hour authority should see to it and materialize at the earliest .No other way than to expand the city soon need more funding

Pls make a new video on the latest update of the construction of santragahi station.

Still Waiting for Dasnagar Metro 😢

Trinomul holo chanachur(chor).....😁

Santragachi metro is coming soon ok but is metro line very important I am waiting.

আমার এর পরের ভিডিওটা চাই on Why the Trinomool Government can't pay for Metro Projects?

Please post an update for Haldiram extension ... If possible @MetroRail Blog

যখন 2021 এ পশ্চিমবঙ্গে বিজেপি সরকার আসবে তখন নিশ্চয়ই এই প্রোজেক্ট গুলোতে কাজ শুরু হবে,

There is no interest to being such project in bengal this is very unfortunate....

Please make a video on Noapara-Airport ,,Noapora-Dakhineswar stress and sealdah station progress

What happened to east west first

Route being underground should have been via the east west road instead of foreshore road, the road is quite wide to accommodate station outlets and even during construction In that case howrah city will be much much better served with high density of population on both side of east west road. If not for the flyover requirement over kona expressway this line could start from hwh stn and come overground near Tikiapara bus depot where the road and adjoining land upto the s.e.rly tracks is wide enough to accommodate the ramp, and being overhead the construction cost will come down to one third, and also much lesser maintenance cost

West Bengal govt. has money to pay for clubs, fairs and all other non infrastructure developments but no money for infrastructure developments. I don't blame Indian railways for this at all. Railways are investing a lot though out the country to develop railways infrastructure. I have no doubt even if state govt. agrees to pay some percentage it'll be I guess some 1-2%.

Yes that's true why only the Indian railways bear the cost. There should be a three partnership model like private state and center. I don't know why state doesn't want to do it. Otherwise Kolkata would have a huge metro network in the country. Sadly it's just stuck with 32kms approx. And why coming to any positive conclusion is so late in India. Please do the needful.

Diesel powered???

What's the update now ??
