चुनाव होते ही मेट्रो ठप, अब मार्च तक का दावाIndore's under-construction metro corridor, which underwent a trial run in September, is facing delays in its opening to the public.

The 5.5-kilometer stretch, despite the successful trial run, hasn't been opened to the public, raising concerns about the delay and causing discontent. While the entire corridor from Gandhi Nagar to Vijay Nagar is scheduled to open by May-June, officials are under pressure to offer at least a portion of the service before that. The delay is attributed to ongoing work and the need for CRS inspection.

Delay ki wajah ongoing work aur CRS ka inspection hai. Aur haan, officials jaante hai ki agar Gandhi Nagar se TCS tak metro chalaai bhi gayi, toh isme zyada passengers nahin honge. Shuru mein toh log naya-naya metro experience lene aayenge, par daily basis par itne chhote route pe koi nahin aayega. Is area mein population density bhi kam hai. Par, upcoming Lok Sabha elections ke nazdikiyon mein, is pressure ko political angle se dekha ja raha hai.
