The statement also added that the connectivity between Ramesh Nagar and Kirti Nagar metro stations will be provided through Free Feeder Bus service during this period. The metro authority also advised passengers to plan their journey accordingly.
DMRC is working on new projects for the upgradation and expansion of metro services. On 8 November, the authority introduced the set of two 8-coach trains which were converted from the existing fleet of 39 six-coach trains, on the red line of the Delhi Metro i.e. between Rithala to Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda.
The introduction of the 8-coach service will provide more convenience to passengers as it will facilitate head stopping, which means the train will stop near the end of the platform. The conversion of 6 coaches trains to 8 coaches trains has been going on for a while now and the trains of Yellow and Blue lines are already converted.
