Kolkata Metro Seeks To List Halted Metro Work Under Essential Service

The Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation is planning to write to the government to allow construction work to be listed as an essential service to finish the project before the June 2022 deadline. Reportedly, the 16-km Kolkata East-West Metro corridor constructions have hindered due to the lockdown-imposed restrictions since May 16. Earlier, the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited has also written to various government agencies seeking exemption in construction work.
