Jangpura becomes nerve centre for RRTS corridors

RRTS
The semi-high speed regional rapid transit system (RRTS) which will connect Delhi with regional nodes Meerut, Panipat and Alwar will have its operational centre in South Delhi's Jangpura area, said Chief Public Relation Officer (CPRO), NCRTC, Sudhir Sharma. He informed that another hub will be located at Sarai Kale Khan, where all the three rapid rail corridors converge. The rapid rail services will start at 6:00 am and will need available trains near Sarai Kale Khan, but creating a depot will require purchasing costly land. This is why the organization plans to create stabling lines at Jangpura, where government land is available. Currently, the construction is under way for the 82-km long Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut rapid rail corridor. A 17-km section between Duhai and Sahibabad will be the first part to become operational in 2023. A preliminary operations control centre (OCC) will be set up at the Duhai depot area for monitoring train movements.
