CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Chennai Metro rail Limited (CMRL) has decided to deploy a squad of martial arts-trained women officers in its trains.
The Team
Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has recently established a specialised team known as the ‘pink squad,’ comprising 20 to 25 trained women proficient in martial arts. This initiative stems from recommendations from a safety survey targeting female passengers conducted last year.
Members of the pink squad hold brown belts in martial arts and have undergone comprehensive briefings on enhancing the security of women commuters. In response to the survey findings, CMRL enhanced CCTV surveillance and introduced a dedicated helpline for female passengers.
Responsibility & Purpose
The squad is deployed to carry out round-the-clock patrolling on the trains and stations. These enhance women’s safety and convenience on the Chennai metro trains and stations.
Instances of Misuse
As per a survey conducted on women’s safety last year, out of the 12,000 women who took part in the survey, most of them submitted positive responses regarding safety but complained about the issues that persist in the system.
Occupancy of Seats
Among the other issues, occupancy of the women’s seats by male passengers is one of the major issues concerning women’s safety and convenience.

MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), as the implementing authority, has finalised a detailed project report (DPR) for extending the Metro 3 underground corridor up to Navy Nagar, Colaba.
A boon for the Location
If sanctioned, this extension will provide the corridor with at least four additional stabling lines, complementing those under development in the eco-sensitive Aarey area. Consequently, this expansion will play a vital role in managing the growing capacity demands of the Metro system.
Extension
The Mumbai metro Line 3 will be extended by 5 Kilometers, 2.5 Kms in each direction, as per the newly prepared DPR by MMRC. The extension has been planned considering the request from the Indian Navy Office to the state government. It was announced by the then Deputy Chief Minister & Finance Minister in the budget speech of 2022-023.
Advantage
4 stabling lines at Navy Nagar would mean many will not have to be built at Aarey. It means two trains can be parked at Navy Nagar, apart from Cuffe Parade, which is currently the southern terminus station of Metro 3.
Planning
Its planning began with the then government, the MVA government, receiving a request from the Indian Navy office. The then Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government had considered the proposal to ensure that the concerned location was also roped into the metro chain for better connectivity.
Commencement
The project is expected to commence in 2025 after the completion and commencement of commercial operations on Line 3.
Enhanced Connectivity & Transit Experience
The proposed extension will benefit the people in the densely populated region. This area includes residential quarters for central government employees and more. It will allow these residents to experience seamless commutation and A-level connectivity across Mumbai.
Metro Line 3
The Mumbai metro Line 3 covers 33 km, connecting Colaba to SEEPZ via the Bandra Kurla complex (BKC) and has been divided into 2 phases.
Phase:01- BKC to SEEPZ
Phase: 02- BKC to Colaba
Phase 1 operation is expected to commence early next year, while phase 2 operations will commence in 2024. MMRC conducted a long-distance train movement last month from MIDC to Vidyanagari and back to SEEPZ.

BANGALORE (Metro RaIl News): After over a year of approval from the Karnataka government, two Bengaluru Metro’s Phase 3 corridors are expected to receive approval from the Union government.
Timing
This endorsement is anticipated to occur before the Lok Sabha polls, which experts believe will also benefit the BJP regarding electoral support in the IT hub. The anticipated approval of the network spanning ORR West and Magadi Road is poised to alleviate traffic congestion while fostering growth in the real estate sector.
Economic Boost
Anticipated approval for expanding the network along ORR (Outer Ring Road) West and Magadi Road is poised to elevate the public transportation system and invigorate the real estate sector in suburban areas.
Nevertheless, certain transportation specialists advocate extending the ORR West corridor from JP Nagar 4th Phase to Central Silk Board to integrate multi-modal transport seamlessly.
Change of Plans
BMRCL has agreed to MoHUA’s requirement of operating three-coach trains instead of the initially proposed six-coach rolling stock. MoHUA imposed supplementary conditions for the Phase 3 corridor approvals.

KOCHI (Metro Rail News): The inspection of Kochi Metro’s 1.20 km S.N. Junction-Thripunithura extension commenced on the evening of February 12th, with the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), Anant M. Chowdhary, conducting a two-day examination.
Work on the Stretch
Preparations for the Tripunithura extension commenced in September 2020. However, the project faced delays in land acquisition due to its predominantly greenfield alignment, encompassing numerous privately owned parcels of land. It wasn’t until May 2022 that the Railways allocated land adjacent to the Tripunithura railway station. Subsequently, construction efforts gained momentum, and work began at total capacity from June 2022 onwards.
Trials on the Stretch
Over the past month, Metro trains have undergone trial runs in the corridor to verify the functionality of all systems. The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will conduct inspections on passenger amenities, signalling, and other crucial systems, as well as assess the condition of the track.
Only upon completion of these inspections and evaluations will a decision be made regarding issuing safety certificates, allowing trains to commence commercial operations on the corridor.
Plans for Future Expansion
The Tripunithura terminal station boasts three platforms and tracks strategically designed to accommodate future metro system extensions. These expansions, including the connection to the Kakkanad extension of phase two, which terminates at Infopark, have been carefully considered in the station’s layout.
Kochi Metro
Upon completion, it will signify the successful conclusion of the 28-kilometer Kochi Metro corridor’s initial phase, encompassing 25 stations from Aluva to Thripunithura. Kochi Metro Rail Limited has independently constructed the Pettah-Thripunithura viaduct, with the remaining tasks slated for completion by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): On Wednesday, Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation (KMRC) received feedback from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) regarding the commencement of commercial operations on the 3.9 km stretch of Kolkata Metro Line-2, connecting Howrah Maidan to Esplanade.
Issues
This report highlights 50 issues discovered during the inspection of Phase 2A of the Green Line inspection conducted by Janak Kumar Garg, the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS), and his team on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The Inspection
The statutory inspection concluded with evaluations of passenger facilities, control rooms, and safety features at four newly established stations: Howrah Maidan, Howrah, Mahakaran, and Esplanade. The inspection concluded on Tuesday following a speed trial where one of the fourteen BEML trains on the line between Howrah Maidan and Esplanade reached a maximum speed of 90 kmph.
The gravity of the issues
Most concerns are minor: signage accuracy, CCTV coverage, lighting enhancements, fire safety measures, and regulating passenger access to specific areas. The more significant issues, such as the alarming discovery of cracks in tunnel ring segments and the necessary patching of concrete slabs and diaphragm walls, have already been addressed.
Commercial Operations
The commercial launch of the line now hinges on three factors: the prompt implementation of corrective measures by KMRC to meet CMRS requirements and suggestions for safe operation, approval from CMRS, and the scheduling alignment with local and national ministers interested in attending the launch event.
Focus on the East-West Metro Corridor
The Kolkata Metro Line 2, also recognised as the East-West Metro or Green Line, is a prominent rapid transit system in the Indian state of West Bengal. Presently operational between Salt Lake and Sealdah, the future expansion initiative aims to link Howrah by traversing beneath the Hooghly River with a planned eastern extension to Teghoria. Encompassing a total span of 22 km, the extended line will boast 17 stations, stretching from Teghoria (Haldiram) in the east to Howrah Maidan in the west. Notably, 11 stations will be elevated, while the remaining six will be underground.
