New Delhi, August 8
The light transit metro train service in Srinagar and Jammu is expected to be ready by 2024, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today.
Jitendra Singh said the metro project for the two cities of Srinagar and Jammu would cost around Rs 10,599 crore.
The railway consultancy company, RITES Limited, has submitted the final detailed project reports and the metro systems were expected to be completed by the end of 2024, Jitendra Singh said, talking about the development initiatives being undertaken in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370.
Once the projects are completed, Srinagar and Jammu will become the first two non-major cities in the country where the rapid transport network will be functional. — PTI
