Mahametro Rail Arrives Jail Land

After a long wait Mahametro (earlier NMRCL) got possession of entire Central Jail land required for the project.

The agency had earlier got possession of 15,326 square metres land inside the jail for construction of viaduct. Now it has the land required for constructing Rahate Colony Metro station. With this, no more government land is needed for construction of Mihan depot to Sitabuldi stretch of the Metro.
A source in Mahametro said the 5,738 square metres land for the station had been given on condition that the agency gets permission from Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to fell trees on it. “Some trees will have to be felled and we have already applied for the necessary permission. We have also paid a part of compensation amount and the remaining will be paid soon. We will begin construction only after NMC green signal,” he said.
