L&T resumes work on Pragati Maidan metro corridor

Larsen & Toubro, the contract company for the Integrated Transit Corridor around Pragati Maidan, has resumed construction work on the metro line as it had made arrangements for 300 workers to stay in temporary sheds built on an empty plot at Sarai Kale Khan throughout the lockdown. Even though work was stopped, workers were given 30 per cent of their salary. At another Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Phase-IV construction site, work continued throughout the lockdown as the contract companies had made arrangements near the site. However, work had slowed down due to a labour shortage. Workers have started coming back to work in droves once the Covid cases started declining in the national capital.
