Delhi, A metro city which is home to around
20 million people, a city which is full of
dreams and opportunities, a city which never
sleeps, was dying in the fight against
increasing population and pollution.
In 1984 Urban Arts Commission came up with
the proposal of constructing 3
underground metro lines as well as improving
the condition of city’s suburban railway.
In 1990s, the history of sufferings by Kolkata
Metro were closely observed so that the
same mistake wouldn’t be repeated in case
of Delhi Metro.
This is why the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
or the DMRC was given full power and
freedom to decide its own future without any
political interference. Only political
connection was related to funds and approval
of new metro corridors.
Delhi Metro was planned to be built in 4 phases,

Hindi: 
दिल्ली, एक मेट्रो शहर जो लगभग 
20 मिलियन लोगों का घर है , एक ऐसा शहर जो भरा हुआ है
सपने और अवसर, एक शहर जो कभी नहीं 
सोता है, के खिलाफ लड़ाई में मर रहा था
बढ़ती जनसंख्या और प्रदूषण। 
1984 में शहरी कला आयोग के साथ आया
3 
भूमिगत मेट्रो लाइनों के निर्माण के साथ-साथ सुधार का प्रस्ताव
शहर की उपनगरीय रेलवे की हालत। 
1990 के दशक में, कोलकाता द्वारा पीड़ितों का इतिहास
मेट्रो को बारीकी से देखा गया ताकि 
मामले में वही गलती न दोहराई जाए
दिल्ली मेट्रो की। 
यही कारण है कि दिल्ली मेट्रो रेल कॉर्पोरेशन
या डीएमआरसी को 
बिना किसी को अपना भविष्य तय करने की पूरी शक्ति और स्वतंत्रता दी गई थी
political interference. Only political
connection was related to funds and approval
of new metro corridors.
Delhi Metro was planned to be built in 4 phases,

English: 
each phase lasting for a period of 5
years. In the first 3 phases, DMRC built a
total network of 65 kms with 58 stations in
phase 1, 125 kms with 87 stations in phase
2 and 160 kms with 109 stations in phase 3
totalling to 363.71 kms with 265 stations.
In phase 4, DMRC proposed another 104 kms
of network expansion along 6 routes, out
of which Central Govt approved 3 priority
corridors with a total length of 61.6 kms.
In this series of informatives, we will be
covering these 3 under construction corridors
in 3 separate videos. Each video will have
details about the stations, alignment of the

line as well as the current construction updates
of the ongoing works. This will also be
the first time that we will be explaining
about metro lines of Delhi Metro in such great
details.
Main content:
Out of the 3 approved corridors, Pink line
extension from Majlis Park to Maujpur is the
smallest one stretching 12.58 kms. It consists
of 8 stations namely Yamuna Vihar,
Bhajanpura, Khajuri Khas, Sonia Vihar, Soorghat,
Jagatpur Village, Jharoda and Burari.
In phase 3, Maujpur station was very uniquely
designed. It was constructed with 4
platforms, out of which currently, platform
1 serves to trains going towards Anand Vihar
and platform 2 serves to trains going towards
Shiv Vihar, while platform 3 and 4 are not
in use.
In near future, we think that Maujpur-Shiv
Vihar section will act as branch line and
trains coming from Shiv Vihar will terminate
at Maujpur station, and then return back
to Shiv Vihar.

at Maujpur station, and then return back
to Shiv Vihar.

Hindi: 
At that time, platform 1 of Maujpur station
will most probably not be used and all the
trains coming from Shiv Vihar side will change
tracks using a crossover, terminate at platform
2 of Maujpur metro station and then return
back to Shiv Vihar. Although, if
the passenger count or the footfall of this
stations increases a lot then Maujpur bound
trains will terminate at platform no 1, passengers
will deboard, and the train will go
ahead by about 100 metres and using a cross-over
return back to platform no 2 for again
boarding of passengers going towards Shiv
Vihar side.
In the rest of the route, from Maujpur to
Anand Vihar to Lajpat Nagar to Majlis Park
and then back to Maujpur, trains will either
be running in clockwise direction or anti-
clockwise direction.
At Maujpur, platform 3 will be used for clockwise
running trains, i.e. for trains going
towards Anand Vihar, while platform 4 will
be used for anti-clockwise running trains,
i.e. for trains going towards Majlis Park.

Hindi: 
Since platform 2 and platform 3 of Maujpur
station are at the same floor level,
passengers deboarding from clockwise running
trains can direct get into a Shiv Vihar
bound train, while passengers deboarding from
anticlockwise running trains have to
get down to concourse level and then again
come up to platform 2 to get into a Shiv
Vihar bound train and vice-versa.
### Just to mention, this route isn’t good
for some of you who end up sleeping in a
metro as you might find yourself at the same
station you boarded, after waking up from
your sleep ###
Alignment:
Jokes apart, now imagine yourself at Maujpur
stations of December 2022. Since DMRC
have enough coaches to run on this stretch,
they won’t be buying any new coaches for
this Pink line extension., this means you
ill still find the same Hyundai Rotem trains
that are currently present on Pink line. Now
you board that train to look at the beauty
of all new stations up to Majlis Park.

The trains start in anticlockwise direction,
takes a left turn, and there arrives the brand-
new Yamuna Vihar metro station. The first
thing that you will notice about this station
is that it is built at a much higher elevation
than other normal metro stations. Yes, this
will be built at a height of 18.5 metres against
normal station which are built at a height
of 8 to 9 metres. The station design of these
new stations is very similar to the previous
Pink line stations. Yamuna Vihar Metro station
will be built along the median of the
NH-9 near Panchsheel Hospital Pvt Ltd.
Now you again get inside the train and you
see the beautiful scapes of the area from
a
height of 18.5 metres for a whole 1.4 kms
stretch from Yamuna Vihar to Bhajanpura
metro station.
The section from Yamuna Vihar to Bhajanpura
will be a double decker corridor where
a 6-lane flyover will be built at the first
deck at a height of 9.5 metres while the metro
viaduct will be built on the second deck at

a height of 18.5 metres. Both Yamuna Vihar
and Bhajanpura metro stations will have platform
levels built at a height of 18.5 metres.
### Be aware that you do not travel between
Yamuna Vihar and Bhajanpura metro
stations if you have acrophobia, because you
might vomit, which most probably will be
a shock for your pocket money ###
Bhajanpura metro station will also be built
along the median of the NH-9 near F-Block
and Bhajanpura Police Station.
Just after Bhajanpura metro station, 6 lane
flyover at the first deck ends and the
elevation of metro viaduct drops drastically
to only 9 metres and moves from NH-9 to
Wazirabad road. Next station that will come
in the way is Khajuri Khas metro station.
Khajuri Khas metro station will be built along
the median of Wazirabad road, near
Khajuri Khas Police booth.
Metro viaduct will continue on Wazirabad road

Sonia Vihar.
Just after Sonia Vihar metro station, metro
viaduct leaves Wazirabad road and get into
Yamuna flood plains, and then go straight
to cross Yamuna river, going along side
Najafgarh drain on the other side.
While crossing Yamuna river, you will see
a high contrast between the colour of the
river towards the north which is blue and,
on the south, which would be dark greenish
blue. River turns dark greenish blue towards
the south due to the sewage coming from
Najafgarh drain just below metro viaduct.
While crossing the Yamuna river, you will
probably be able to see the marvellous Signature
Bridge on the South side.
Just after crossing the Yamuna river, metro
viaduct will get onto the Outer ring road
and then Soorghat metro station arrives. Soorghat
metro station will be built beside the
Outer ring road, near Nehru Vihar.
Immediately after Soorghat, metro viaduct
leaves Outer ring road, crosses Najafgarh
drain and gets onto the road built on the
other side.
According, to the original plan of DMRC, metro

Sonia Vihar.

According, to the original plan of DMRC, metro

English: 
viaduct was supposed to go along the
Outer Ring road after Soorghat metro station
without going to the other side of
Najafgarh drain. But this was changed because,
towards the Outer ring road side of
Najafgarh drain, there are very few people
living, while there is a huge population living
on the other side of Najafgarh drain which
would highly benefit a lot of people living
in Jharoda, Sangam Vihar, Wazirabad, and various
other colonies. These type of minor
changes in the alignment of metro are called
Material Modifications.
Next station to come after crossing Najafgarh
drain is Jagatpur village. This metro
station will lie along the median of the road
in front of Wazirabad bridge on the south
and F-block on the north.
After Jagatpur Village, metro viaduct goes
straight to Jharoda metro station which will
be built just beside the T-point separating
Sangam Vihar and Jharoda and will be built
along the median the road.
Then, metro viaduct goes straight, takes a

Then, metro viaduct goes straight, takes a

station of Pink line station, which is Burari
metro station. This station will also be built
along the median of the road near Jharoda
Majra, Sant Nagar extn, etc.
Just after Burari metro station, metro viaduct
will again cross the Najafgarh drain to go
back alongside Outer Ring road. Within a few
more seconds after taking a left turn, you
will reach on the platform 3 of Majlis Park
metro station.
Features:
That is all about the alignment of this Pink
line extension. Neither Majlis Park nor
Maujpur will see any new construction since
they were already made in such a way in
Phase-3 only that they could be extended and
joined in Phase-4.

In February, 2020, National Green Tribunal
or the NGT gave nod to DMRC to construct
metro viaduct over the Yamuna river and its
flood plains.
DMRC will be using box girders for the construction
of this stretch. Currently piling
works of the pillars are going on across the
whole stretch.
Other updates: Although, this video is meant
to be limited to only Pink line extension,
but there are
minor updates about other incomplete Pink
line stretches of Phase 3 for which we can’t
make a separate video.
The only left section across the pink line
is Mayur Vihar Pocket-1 to Trilokpuri Sanjay
Lake. Construction on this stretch started
in January and currently piling works are
going on at full pace. It will take another
5 to 6 months for completion of this small
stretch.
