Through your channel I want to say that that thousands of people ply over river Hooghly at sheorafully ghat and Shrirampur ghat. So what if the line of metro is connected from sheorafully to Barrackpore, where the project is also on the cards. This will make the Circle complete. Also as per your suggestion, Dakshineswar to dankuni route of metro too should be explored.
I think your idea will materialize but when that's a huge question? I hope lot of industries and jobs come up in west Kolkata in future so that traveling will be easier for commuters
Metro will be more complicated! How can I get the optimal solution for traveling from point A to B? I probably have to use Google then for metro too. But before all that, will I survive 2020?
Your channel has grown my love to the metro projects in Kolkata. They are really informative and gives us the real status of the development works and also the future scope and ideas. Keep up doing the good work.
I stay near Howrah maidan..I completed my schooling, University and now got a job but till now its just a construction. I think I'll get married and shift to different city while the construction would still be going on.. I don't think I'll be able to use this metro service in this life.
@Ani bandyopadhyay Wish you are right... Tmc dhara hobe na ei shab... Kolkata metro 35 years hoe gailo ekta 33 km long line only... Compare it with Ahmedabad metro... 2019 inaugrated and in operation right now...(construction started in 2017 as far as i remember) Within 2023 40 km line will be completed .. Phase 2 also approved... No state vs centre politics like in WB..
It is easiest to extend Noapara Dakshineswar Metra up to Dankuni via Bally over Gangs which is only 8 Km. It can be completed within 2 years as construction upto Dakshineswar is still remaining uncompleted.
A fine treatment on metro plans for Kolkata. Would like an analysis on a) why metro construction takes more than 10 years in Kolkata compared to other cities where its up and running in less than half the time .b) Is Kolkata metro self sustainable ? If not , why and what are the impediments ? c) Once the Howrah Maidan - Sector 5 stretch becomes operational, trains are expected to be full at Howrah itself depriving passengers in intermediate stations to get a foothold.How Metro looks to address this problem ? 4) While Santragachi extension from Howrah maidan is a good proposal , a Bally connection to Dakshineswar will mitigate travel of Hooghly belt travellers to sector 5 who can then come to Bally by EMU , take the metro to Sealdah and hop onto E-W metro to sector 5.
If I stay alive and RUclips stays like this, I will come here in 2050 to comment, that these projects are still pending and then hit a like button on my own comment.
Stop daydreaming man. Until unless WB government take share in Kolkata metro nothing will happen to kolkata metro. Look at UP government how they develoved NMRC.
What is NMRC? By the way UP is one of the most under developed states in India by living index. I do not think there is any good white collar jobs in UP apart from certain manufacturing and PSU sectors which are there everywhere. Now, Noida and similar circles are developed by center funds (as part of NCR), whoever though has the stake. So, what exactly UP tops in apart from uncultured crimes?
@@gddebate why WB government isn't interested to take share in Kolkata metro??? 🤔 By the way I'm not from UP I'm from haryana. I've taken example of UP just to show that even underdeveloped UP can afford a world class metro line. But WB can't
Hello. A super presentation as usual. Please keep up the good work. Recently there was a proposal that central government will not finance metros unless state steps in. So WB state governments have a stake in these lines?

@@Jitendrapas1 These are surefire words coming out of botched senses. How old you are by the way? Since errors abound speak a lot which quarter it comes from.
We also need metro in uttarpar, hindmotor, konnagar, & rishra... So it's better to connect them n-s route and extension should be like from dakhineswar to shirampur connecting bally, uttarpar, hindmotor, konnagar, rishra & shirampur because this areas are fully crowded & need a good alternative in this case metro is the best...
Might be too harsh to say But Kolkata metro progress is the SLOWEST in the whole country Lucknow metro was built and was opertional in just 3years Bengaluru metro is adding 79 km in 2years It seems Mamta Banerjee govt is not willing to expand metro the intent is lacking
Quite a good information. I am waiting for your next video where you are going to show about Howrah maiden to santragachi metro corridor. Please inform whether there will be a metro station near "Bele-pole" or "Byatore er More" area. If possible please inform.
Amphan reduced more green cover that metro would ever do. See the other side as well, public transportation reduces pollution levels by discouraging private vehicles,no city suffers from pollution like Kolkata. Even Delhi air was seen as toxic but robust metro helped
@@abhoysaha1125 alrighty Mr,care to explain how building metro is improper use of resources? Building roads,then again building flyovers over the same roads to prevent traffic, isn't this misuse of resources then as well? I would anyday prefer an elevated metro line than stupid flyovers everywhere. Forgot already how a section of flyover broke few years ago? Thanks to concerned people chingrighata is a mess now with upcoming metro struggling. Think it over which is truly misusing the resources
@@KrishanuRayTech for making metro depo lands required, and proper laws regarding land management is not there... I am not insulting metro projects but like road, railway and other projects needs land metro projects also need but proper way must be used for sustainable development you can see the example of Mumbai where people protest against cutting trees for making metro depo
One thing, if the metro is considered upto Shrirampur, then why it is not conceptually streched by another 20 km to directly catch up all the jamming commuter stream from the Chandannagar to Bandel jn. region, consisting of the Hooghly-district headquarter Chuchura-Hooghly region, and the important across Hooghly-river llinked commuters (just ahead of core of Kolkata)?! Specially while this cross-river traffic is expected to get up much heavier soon, with the upcoming megaprojects at Kalyani and the Nadia-Hooghly-N 24 Pgs traffic? The whole northern lot of suburbs may not contain crucially important areas for the city Kolkata but it definitely have the crowd it needs to operate for the metro, due to age-old aggregation of the population by the industrial flourishment in the past along the two sides of the river. Though for another insight, it is demand of time to connect the 31-no-road junction of GT Road at Shrirampur, with the Chiria more junction of BT Road at Barrackpore on the two sides of river Hooghly, by a road bridge for sake of relieving some amount from the huge existing pressure on the ferry system. Rail junction across the river of the northern suburban is saturated with the main-line connection at Bandel-Naihati and Calcutta-Chord Link line (CCL-line) at Dankuni-Dumdum (Interestingly, the CCL line is being closely followed by the further strech of N-S line ahead of Dum Dum, let it follow completely upto Dankuni!); but the road junction lacks, it needs to be atleast another one addition at the busy node across Serampore-Barrackpore.
omh, being a resident of Howrah Chatterjee para (near Kadamtala) I'm teary eyes. I so badly wanted a proper metro project here. Transportation is SO POOR inside howrah city even with the TOTO boom! (one can only imagine how it was before) the only WBTC bus route is T8 which is absolutely unreliable, over crowded and infrequent. At this point, even a tram route along Drainage Canal road seems very prominent
Heartening to hear some positive news at last!! But i would like to know what is the situation like at the other end of the country - Financial Capital Mumbai. Why hasn't the metro in Mumbai reached the levels similar to that of Bangalore, Chennai or Hyderabad? Even Kochi has a longer corridor !
Is it possible to merge the metro lines al Dakshineswar with the CCR to cross Vivekananda bridge , then follow the Delhi road alignment . Both are broad guage .
If most up to date signalling system is installed, trains can pass every minute and half intervals and large numbers of people can travel during peak hours without waiting. More coaches, more money, more revenue, more investment and more scope of expansion.
Hi... Admin n fans of MRB... I m sharing a good news for u all... Today one more step ahead of East West Metro expansion has been done by the state govt (land dept).. A joint team of Railway (most probably kmrc), Govt of WB(LR Dept) n HMC made a ground survey for the proposed alignment between Howrah Maidan n Santragachi via Nabanna for the acquisition n other necessary work... I hope MRB will collect more information about this n share with us....
@@MetroRailBlog thank you. Few months back when i was in the region, i had seen pipeline shifting work and lane widening work on BT Road was in progress. So, please enlighten us with your insider knowledge.
I doubt about it. Even if the Government changes in WB, all the trash will shift from TMC to the new party. Same happened when TMC came into power. And we have already seen what happens when the Gov. is run by the idiots.

We need metro at das nagar or kona !! It will be much existing, if it's happened in future 😌😁
Sad thing is kolkata most advance city tha ind ka,bahot jyada capable hai kolkata,hope kolkata firse top pe aye🔥🙏
Your channel has grown my love to the metro projects in Kolkata. They are really informative and gives us the real status of the development works and also the future scope and ideas. Keep up doing the good work.
I stay near Howrah maidan..I completed my schooling, University and now got a job but till now its just a construction. I think I'll get married and shift to different city while the construction would still be going on.. I don't think I'll be able to use this metro service in this life.
Wonderfull again you proved it why you are one of my favorite RUclipsr
We are eagerly waiting.
I'm eagerly waiting for.
Kolkata Metro 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Much awaited project..I live in uttarpara and we have suffered for years due to this communication gap...
Ufff shunte ki thrilling laage... Alas, ki hobe sheta jana achhe...
These projects will not finish in your lifetime . So stop dreaming
Your words are bitter but true.

Wish you are right...
Tmc dhara hobe na ei shab...
Kolkata metro 35 years hoe gailo ekta 33 km long line only...
Compare it with Ahmedabad metro...
2019 inaugrated and in operation right now...(construction started in 2017 as far as i remember) Within 2023 40 km line will be completed ..
Phase 2 also approved...
No state vs centre politics like in WB..
Darun laglo video ta ♥️

❣❣❣Construct Metro Rail in all SMART City❣❣❣
It is easiest to extend Noapara Dakshineswar Metra up to Dankuni via Bally over Gangs which is only 8 Km. It can be completed within 2 years as construction upto Dakshineswar is still remaining uncompleted.
A fine treatment on metro plans for Kolkata. Would like an analysis on a) why metro construction takes more than 10 years in Kolkata compared to other cities where its up and running in less than half the time .b) Is Kolkata metro self sustainable ? If not , why and what are the impediments ? c) Once the Howrah Maidan - Sector 5 stretch becomes operational, trains are expected to be full at Howrah itself depriving passengers in intermediate stations to get a foothold.How Metro looks to address this problem ? 4) While Santragachi extension from Howrah maidan is a good proposal , a Bally connection to Dakshineswar will mitigate travel of Hooghly belt travellers to sector 5 who can then come to Bally by EMU , take the metro to Sealdah and hop onto E-W metro to sector 5.
If I stay alive and RUclips stays like this, I will come here in 2050 to comment, that these projects are still pending and then hit a like button on my own comment.
Lmao 😂 best cmnt
Darun kabor.
What is the recent development for the Baruipur-kavi Subhas metro? If yes, any news on the tentative stations on this stretch?
Stop daydreaming man. Until unless WB government take share in Kolkata metro nothing will happen to kolkata metro. Look at UP government how they develoved NMRC.
What is NMRC? By the way UP is one of the most under developed states in India by living index. I do not think there is any good white collar jobs in UP apart from certain manufacturing and PSU sectors which are there everywhere. Now, Noida and similar circles are developed by center funds (as part of NCR), whoever though has the stake. So, what exactly UP tops in apart from uncultured crimes?
@@gddebate why WB government isn't interested to take share in Kolkata metro??? 🤔 By the way I'm not from UP I'm from haryana. I've taken example of UP just to show that even underdeveloped UP can afford a world class metro line. But WB can't
UP ? You mean the rape capital of the world ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Up 😂😂 India's top 1 rapeist state 😂😂
Extend metro railway like New Delhi. Railway and central must pull out from chocking. Build metro in solidarity and Asansol. Invest in infrastructure.
No funds in railway or centres coffers. All banks funds are used to finance Adani acquisition.
Best of luck for new metro line.
Hello.
A super presentation as usual.
Please keep up the good work.
Recently there was a proposal that central government will not finance metros unless state steps in. So WB state governments have a stake in these lines?
Excellent video !
This will be a boon for development in the suburbs of Kolkata.
Myself a Dankunian. Howrah chord services better compared to Sealdah Dankuni. Such great piece of news. Blessings.
শিয়ালদহ-ডানকুনি লাইনকে ইস্টার্ন রেলওয়ে ছাগলের তৃতীয় সন্তান এর মতো ব্যবহার করে।😂
Howrah-Burdwan Chord line is better managed than Sealdah line.
I'm from Janai.
So get married and have kids when they will go to college than might be metro would ready.
@@Jitendrapas1 These are surefire words coming out of botched senses. How old you are by the way? Since errors abound speak a lot which quarter it comes from.
We also need metro in uttarpar, hindmotor, konnagar, & rishra... So it's better to connect them n-s route and extension should be like from dakhineswar to shirampur connecting bally, uttarpar, hindmotor, konnagar, rishra & shirampur because this areas are fully crowded & need a good alternative in this case metro is the best...
Commendable presentation. Useful Information. Liked and subscribed. Best wishes
existing guloe ses hoena tora abr extension!thak bhai amra more jai tarpor...
Might be too harsh to say
But Kolkata metro progress is the SLOWEST in the whole country Lucknow metro was built and was opertional in just 3years
Bengaluru metro is adding 79 km in 2years
It seems Mamta Banerjee govt is not willing to expand metro the intent is lacking
Bangalore metro adding 70+ in 2 years. 🤨🤨
Are you talking of phase 2
She's Corrupted
@@jayrajak5100 Kolkata metro is totally under Indian railways so CM is not responsible for slow metro projects it's our railway minister
@@abhoysaha1125
That the problem sha doesn't bearing half of costs
Other states are bearing.
@@abhoysaha1125 states should also bear costs,clear lands and actively participate. Everyone knows there is no one as incompetent as railways in India
damn very excited for the next video *-*
We are waiting......... 👏👌👍
Quite a good information. I am waiting for your next video where you are going to show about Howrah maiden to santragachi metro corridor. Please inform whether there will be a metro station near "Bele-pole" or "Byatore er More" area. If possible please inform.
Durdanto 🤩
Great way of presentation as ALWAYS
Good news for my future grandson, only he will be able to travel by this metro route..by the way i am 30 now.. 😬
Reducing green cover is also a major problem
Amphan reduced more green cover that metro would ever do. See the other side as well, public transportation reduces pollution levels by discouraging private vehicles,no city suffers from pollution like Kolkata. Even Delhi air was seen as toxic but robust metro helped
@@KrishanuRayTech improper use of resources by humans is the cause amphan is the effect
@@abhoysaha1125 alrighty Mr,care to explain how building metro is improper use of resources? Building roads,then again building flyovers over the same roads to prevent traffic, isn't this misuse of resources then as well? I would anyday prefer an elevated metro line than stupid flyovers everywhere. Forgot already how a section of flyover broke few years ago? Thanks to concerned people chingrighata is a mess now with upcoming metro struggling. Think it over which is truly misusing the resources
@@KrishanuRayTech for making metro depo lands required, and proper laws regarding land management is not there... I am not insulting metro projects but like road, railway and other projects needs land metro projects also need but proper way must be used for sustainable development you can see the example of Mumbai where people protest against cutting trees for making metro depo
@@abhoysaha1125 Metro reduces the fuel emission . Please note that
Awesome video ❤️
I hope that in my next life I will be fortunate enough to ride the route
সোনার পাথর বাটি!!!! Metro prject .......dream soon be realised
One thing, if the metro is considered upto Shrirampur, then why it is not conceptually streched by another 20 km to directly catch up all the jamming commuter stream from the Chandannagar to Bandel jn. region, consisting of the Hooghly-district headquarter Chuchura-Hooghly region, and the important across Hooghly-river llinked commuters (just ahead of core of Kolkata)?! Specially while this cross-river traffic is expected to get up much heavier soon, with the upcoming megaprojects at Kalyani and the Nadia-Hooghly-N 24 Pgs traffic? The whole northern lot of suburbs may not contain crucially important areas for the city Kolkata but it definitely have the crowd it needs to operate for the metro, due to age-old aggregation of the population by the industrial flourishment in the past along the two sides of the river.
Though for another insight, it is demand of time to connect the 31-no-road junction of GT Road at Shrirampur, with the Chiria more junction of BT Road at Barrackpore on the two sides of river Hooghly, by a road bridge for sake of relieving some amount from the huge existing pressure on the ferry system. Rail junction across the river of the northern suburban is saturated with the main-line connection at Bandel-Naihati and Calcutta-Chord Link line (CCL-line) at Dankuni-Dumdum (Interestingly, the CCL line is being closely followed by the further strech of N-S line ahead of Dum Dum, let it follow completely upto Dankuni!); but the road junction lacks, it needs to be atleast another one addition at the busy node across Serampore-Barrackpore.
omh, being a resident of Howrah Chatterjee para (near Kadamtala) I'm teary eyes.
I so badly wanted a proper metro project here. Transportation is SO POOR inside howrah city even with the TOTO boom! (one can only imagine how it was before)
the only WBTC bus route is T8 which is absolutely unreliable, over crowded and infrequent. At this point, even a tram route along Drainage Canal road seems very prominent
Any news on this? Are they planning or halted the plan?
its been 3 years of this video... are there any updates on the shrirampur -dankuni line?
My home town..I love u kolkata
Nice video
Until this route will be completed and ready to go. The people who are in their late 20's now will go past their 80's 🤣
Maybe in their late 50' you can say ;)
Heartening to hear some positive news at last!! But i would like to know what is the situation like at the other end of the country - Financial Capital Mumbai. Why hasn't the metro in Mumbai reached the levels similar to that of Bangalore, Chennai or Hyderabad? Even Kochi has a longer corridor !
Kolkata metro looks like Mumbai AC local from outside 😄
Look doesn't matter bro, kaam hona chahiye..
When sealdah metro station will be open forpublic??
Next Videos about Joka-Diamond Harbour, Barrackpore-Kalyani, Chandannagar-Bally-Howrah and the scrapped line from Joka to Tollygunge
I wish they extend the dakhineswar metro to chandannagar via bally halt.
Because the howrah - sector V will create more pressure on local trains.
What is the present status of newtown metro?
When I can ride metro from Phoolbagan?
Kolkata Metro rails are available on your channel only...
Wish these were in reality too...
Is it possible to merge the metro lines al Dakshineswar with the CCR to cross Vivekananda bridge , then follow the Delhi road alignment . Both are broad guage .
If most up to date signalling system is installed, trains can pass every minute and half intervals and large numbers of people can travel during peak hours without waiting. More coaches, more money, more revenue, more investment and more scope of expansion.
Hi...
Admin n fans of MRB...
I m sharing a good news for u all...
Today one more step ahead of East West Metro expansion has been done by the state govt (land dept)..
A joint team of Railway (most probably kmrc), Govt of WB(LR Dept) n HMC made a ground survey for the proposed alignment between Howrah Maidan n Santragachi via Nabanna for the acquisition n other necessary work...
I hope MRB will collect more information about this n share with us....
When will be the Barasat-dum dum junction strech start ??
Make a video in Budgebudge to Rubi line also..
The narration is very good.
so the metro to Barrackpore along "BT Road" is scrapped ?
No...
Unofficially yes
Jodi state government pipeline gulo shoraye taholei kichu hobe.
No it's not! Video coming soon! 😉
@@MetroRailBlog thank you. Few months back when i was in the region, i had seen pipeline shifting work and lane widening work on BT Road was in progress. So, please enlighten us with your insider knowledge.
Things will change & kolkata will develop amazingly. Just remove this mamata begum & elect a govt. to Bengal who is having a far sight vision.
Far sight vision means??What??
I doubt about it. Even if the Government changes in WB, all the trash will shift from TMC to the new party. Same happened when TMC came into power. And we have already seen what happens when the Gov. is run by the idiots.
Far sight vision like Dilip Ghosh
First we should throw out Meros from Kolkata only then Kolkata will be a better place to live
@@ABCDEF26090 But actual situation is Bongs are being thrown away. Reason could be verious. Kolkata is a city today with more of brothers from next door country & less bongs.
Great update
Really appreciated ❤️
You are a very good explainer...
great news !!!
Very informative video..bt howrahr sathe dankuni attached hok.. r dakshieswar er sathe shrirapur attached hok
Howrah really needs metro to avoid traffic on road, very little road facility is available on Howrah. 😔
Great content. Excellent narration. There are very few channels that deliver content with such precision. I really appreciate the hard work put in to do all the research in your videos.
Suggestion: I would request you to make videos on the Indian Railways too. This will be a dream come true for railway enthusiasts like me as there are almost no channels making quality videos on this topic.
Big thumbs up to MRB. Keep up the good work.
For Indian Railways, we've started up a new channel in the name of "The Marvel Transits". :)
Construction of Dankuni Metro Line should be planned and started now. Because, Dankuni is a new emerging area near Kolkata City.
Nice content
Baruipur to Joka via Amtalla will be of immense help.
Dakhineswar tae akhno holo na...last 10 year dhore ache
Any updates on kavi subhash - baruipur line?
Any update regarding Batanagar and Budge Budge area metro expansion. I heard about monorail long back during 2016. Any news about that?
