Speaking on the occasion, Shri Subhransu Sekhar Mishra, General Manager, Metro Railway, highlighted how from operating a 3.4 km stretch between Esplanade and Bhowanipore at its inception in 1984, the nation's oldest metro network currently covers five colour-coded lines servicing 58 stations, with a total route length of 73.42km. This will undergo further expansion in the coming years, to ensure even greater connectivity and passenger convenience.
