Key Questions Answered
According to metro sources, the Orange Line Metro is expected to extend from Beleghata up to the Gourkishore Ghosh-Nalban-IT Center station by December.
The metro project work in Chingrighata was stalled for years because the previous state government withheld necessary permissions and traffic diversion approvals.
The IT Center Metro Station on the Orange Line will connect directly with the Green Line's Sector Five Metro Station, allowing future passengers to easily travel to Howrah, Sealdah, the Airport, or Dharmatala.
