PM Modi could be the first passenger on Bhopal Metro, inauguration soon

Bhopal Metro: The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety, crucial for the commercial run of the metro in Bhopal, may submit its report to the Metro Corporation this week.

After everything is deemed 'OK', the report will be given to the state government. The commercial run of the metro will commence after receiving the green signal from New Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate it. He may also become the first passenger of the Bhopal Metro. He had virtually inaugurated the Indore Metro on May 31. The CMRS had arrived in Bhopal on November 12.

Now Just Waiting for the Report

Over the next 3 days, November 13, 14, and 15, the team inspected everything from the depot to the tracks and the train. Along with Commissioner Nilabhra Sengupta, the team examined even the nuts and bolts of the metro. Following this, the team returned.

Now, the wait is for the report. Metro officials state that all necessary work for the commercial run of the metro, as per CMRS standards, has been completed. Some work at the stations remains, but it will not affect the commercial run. Therefore, it is expected that the CMRS report will be 'OK'.
