Dear @metrorailwaykol, you have world-class facilities like Washing Plants on Purple Line. Aren't they enough to make rakes clean, if not spotless?
This is MR-418, fungus grew on the walls whr people keep their head. Is this your "Swachhata Hi Seva"? Cleanliness is bare minimum.
End of wait, and years of evil politics against infrastructure development!
Today, on the auspicious day of Mahalaya, the wheels of Kolkata Metro crosses Chingrighata to reach Salt Lake Sector 5! Beleghata - IT Centre Trials done.
Joy Maa Durga! Shubho Durga Pujo! 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️
CONFIRMED! Howrah's Own Metro Coming Soon!

The first push trolley inspection on the Beleghata–IT Centre section of Kavi Subhash–Jai Hind Bimanbandar Metro Corridor (#OrangeLine) has been conducted successfully marking a major milestone for the project. With the viaduct and ballastless track (BLT) works on the section now complete, the stretch is ready for beginning of the electrical works.
1. Diving deeper into Bengal RRTS.
RRTS for Kolkata/Bengal region is trending, as it is formally proposed to MoHUA. But what went behind it?
@SarkarSouradip & I teamed up to prepare the masterplan of the proposal after we were approached by an enthusiastic team under @SamikBJP.
Choosing Maidan - The SARAI KALE KHAN of Kolkata.
Maidan is centrally located, having 1 existing metro lines, and 1 proposed HSR terminus. All 4 lines radiate from Maidan, because RRTS should ideally originate from the core of a city, to eliminate the hassle of interchange.
Provision of new Metro Networks using RRTS tracks.
Our Bengal RRTS plan proposes the use of RRTS tracks and run metro rail between Asansol (R.K Mission) - Kalipahari, Kolkata (Maidan) - Budge Budge, and future provision for Kolkata - Kalyani, along with Durgapur Light Metro.

I was about to search for Orange Line's station works, and this video dropped. Look who's back

If only we could be more responsible towards the construction of our own metro rail. Thank you, Honourable Calcutta High Court, and @upamanyu95
Big victory for people of Kolkata.
I thank Kolkata High Court and Hon Justice Sujoy Paul for passing an order in the Chingrighata case of WPA (P) 297 of 2025 Upamanyu Bhattacharya Vs State of West Bengal & Ors. State has been ordered to give traffic block in January for Orange Line Metro construction which will unironically solve the entire Chingrighata jam once the metro starts running from South Kolkata to Sector V, Salt Lake. More on the same after we get the order copy.
Jai Hind. Joy Maa Kali. Joy Bangali.
Thought.
Why isn't anyone talking about POLLUTION in KOLKATA?
