The journey between Howrah and Esplanade in Kolkata would be very comfortable for the passengers from October!!
On Thursday, 20th April 2023, history was made in Kolkata as India`s first underwater metro completed its trial run. The trial metro train run from Kolkata`s East- West metro took place between Howrah Maidan and Esplanade with the passengers and caught the attention of many. The joy ride under the Holy Ganga water was sensational for many.
It must be taken into account that the metro train trial began at Howrah Maidan metro station and the metro train crossed 3 metro stations in between and reached Esplanade finally. Truth is that the identical twin cities Howrah and Kolkata have been connected by the metro line.
If things go as per the plans, then by October or November 2023 the underwater metro train would become a reality as metro rail would be starting the operations.
