Delhi Metro reopens Red, Violet and Green lines today

After Delhi Metro's busiest corridors, Yellow and Blue Lines, resumed operations, the network's oldest, Red Line, reopened on Thursday. Violet Line (Kashmere Gate to Ballabhgarh) and Green Line (Kirti Nagar to Bahadurgarh) also opened on the same day. The entirely elevated 34.4km Red Line (Rithala to Shaheed Sthal New Bus Adda), which has 29 stations, not only connects the northwest fringe of the capital to the northeast, but also enters Ghaziabad. Blue Line (Dwarka to Vaishali) was the first to enter Ghaziabad with just two stations. Red Line has eight stations in Ghaziabad and the 9.6km section serves the interior parts of the NCR. Red Line will have interchange facilities at Welcome with Pink Line (Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar) and Green Line at Inderlok, apart from connecting with Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli to Huda City Centre) and Violet Line at Kashmere Gate, Delhi Metro’s biggest interchange hub.
