CMRL launches construction work of Phase-I extension
Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has started construction work at the Central Square and the Wimco Nagar Depot. The metro rail will expand the work to other sites in the phase I extension project like the construction of stations and allied work with about 25-30% of the workforce. To ensure that the workers continue to wear masks through the day and maintain physical distancing and monitor their movement, a special safety team has been deputed across sites. The CMRL prepares to have portable hand-washing facilities at several locations. There will be social distancing in the bus too when workers are brought to the site and they are being permitted into the sites only after temperature tests and provides they don't complain of any illness. Their tents are constantly disinfected too. Chennai Metro Rail planned to start train services in the phase I extension project that covers 9 km of north Chennai in June, but that will now be delayed and after that it will start construction work on other sites in a phased manner.
