Bhopal Metro's First Underground Tunnel Nears Completion with Additional Sections Planned
Tunnelling on Bhopal Metro's first underground corridor between the railway station and Pul Patra is nearing completion, with about 350 metres of the 500-metre stretch finished. Two tunnel boring machines are working simultaneously, accelerating progress despite earlier delays caused by technical challenges and ground conditions. Sensitive areas near Nadra Bus Stand and key buildings have been safely crossed. An additional 3.39-km underground section is proposed between Pul Patra and Sindhi Colony. Metro officials also addressed concerns over construction near Shahi Kabristan cemetery, ensuring no graves will be affected.
