Maha Metro is a huge project that can be called the most ambitious projects in our region. However, with the Metro’s ongoing work in the city, we saw a lot of trees getting out of the way along with many more things coming along the way, including the crazy castle and a lot more like that. In the recent expansion phase, the Maha Metro had intended to remove 427 trees coming in their way, which had to be removed either by trimming it or by doing other things.

But as per recent news, these trees are now going to be retained as a few changes made by the authorities to save the trees on Kamptee Road. This is the third phase of the road expansion seen along the Central Avenue road seen over the Reach-IV alignment. According to sources, Maha Metro officials carried out a comprehensive survey in which they researched the two alignments. It was felt that the trees were found over the alignment during this very study.

According to the survey, there were about 427 trees that had to be handled, all of which belonged to Mungna Drum Stick along with others like Ashoka and Banyan trees that remained the most common species in the region. But when Maha Metro officials were consulted on their retention, they came up with a solution by consulting experts active in the field of agriculture and horticulture. These included experts such as Shri Srikant Deshpande, a city-based environmentalist, along with Shri Deshpande and other experts.

Metro Rail Safety Commissioner (CMRS) Janak Kumar Garg recently conducted a day-long visit to the Nagpur Metro Project to inspect the Jhansi Rani Metro Station. The two-member team, including CMRS, inspected the metro station’s public amenities and other facilities. During the officials ‘ visit to the station, a mock fire drill was also carried out. The CMRS team shared satisfaction with the metro station’s facilities.

The officials of the CMRS went to Jhansi Rani Metro Station, one of the leading Aqua-Line Reach-III Metro Stations. With the escalators at the station, the two officials began their inspection. Specific escalator safety standards were checked on the occasion. During the use of escalators, incidents resulting from unforeseen circumstances were also recognized and checked accordingly.

The drone captured beautiful pictures of Metro Station Jhansi Rani running on the Nagpur aqua line. See the photos below:

From Day One on the Aqua Line to Lokmanya Nagar Station and Sitabuldi Interchange Journey in just 20 Minutes Now the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety Node for 80 km / h Speed Between Lokmanya Nagar Station and Sitabuldi Interchange Orange Line Experience Comes Handy For Aqua-Line Clearances The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has given his consent to the operation. This would enable the metro train to run at a specified speed from the day the services are introduced on the Aqua Line.

This would mean that the journey between these two stations would take just 20 minutes. The fact that the metro train can run at 80 km / h from day one of its launch is a significant achievement for the project. The journey between these two stations normally takes up to an hour, which can now be completed in just 20 minutes.

While CMRS had previously imposed sanctions for beginning commercial operations in Reach-I, the entire process was carried out in multiple steps. However, the same process was carried out in Reach-III in reduced steps and the metro train can now operate on the Aqua Line at a speed of 80 km / h on its own from the first day.

The experience of CMRS trials in Reach-I was handy for Maha Metro while conducting similar tests in Reach-III. While the necessary clearances for R-III came in one go, the different phases of clearances for Orange Line are listed below:

1. 1 train, 1 line, 1 hr, 25 kmph, 12 trips
2. 2 trains, both lines, 1 hr, 25 kmph, 25 trips
3.  4 trains, both lines, 30 min, 25 kmph, 48 trips
4. 4 trains, both lines, 15min, 80 kmph max, 100 trips

Some time back, the CMRS carried out experiments on the basis of Communication Based Train Control (CBTC), Automatic Train Safety, Traffic Control System, Automatic Train Control and other mechanisms. There was a team of CMRS officials in Nagpur for these exams. The node of the CMRS came after successfully performing trials in these regions.

Work on four subway stations, other than Sitabuldi Interchange, has been completed. These are: Lokmanya Nagar, Subhash Nagar, Institute of Engineers and Jhansi Rani Square Metro Station. With all the requisite permits already under the belt, Maha Metro is all set up for the launch of passenger services on the Aqua Line.
