Scheduled for an October rollout, the Metro in the state capital requires mandatory certification from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) before operations can begin.
According to officials, the CMRS will visit the city twice prior to granting approval. The first inspection will focus on the Metro Depot and rolling stock (trains), while the second visit will cover Metro stations.
Departments including Civil, Signalling, and Telecom are required to upload their compliance reports online for scrutiny. “Many departments have already submitted their reports, and the first visit by CMRS is expected shortly,” an official from the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation told The Free Press.
Meanwhile, senior officers are carrying out regular reviews of the project. On Saturday, Metro Corporation MD S. Krishna Chetanya inspected the ongoing works and assured that all tasks will be completed on schedule. On Sunday, Additional Chief Secretary (Urban Development) Sanjay Dubey also reviewed the preparations.
