The JMRC may now commence operations by May end or first week of June on 9.2 km Mansarovar-Chandpole line.

The CMRS, though, has put certain conditions before starting the service which are related to the safety of track which would be completed within 20-25 days.

“Some minor works related to safety on track have been directed by the CMRS to complete. These works will take 20-25 days more,” said Ashwani Saxena, the project director with the JMRC who was present when the CMRS released the certificate.

The Metro officials said that after completing due works, a proposal will be sent to the state government to give green signal to commence much awaited Jaipur Metro.
