India' s First Driver less Metro

New Delhi, November 25, 2021: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today unveiled driverless operation of metro trains in the Pink Line of Delhi Metro. The project is funded by Japanese ODA Loans, which are being provided by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This is second line to have driverless operations after the Magenta Line, which was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2020 as India's first driverless Metro train. With the introduction of the driverless train in Pink Line - the longest corridor of Delhi Metro - DMRC now has 96 km of driverless corridors.

The inauguration ceremony was conducted in the presence of dignitaries such as H.E. Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri, Hon'ble Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, Mr. Kailash Gahlot, Hon'ble Transport Minister of Government of NCT of Delhi and Dr. Mangu Singh, Managing Director, DMRC.

Magenta Line (Delhi Metro)

The Magenta Line (Line 8) is a metro rail line of the Delhi Metro, a rapid transit system in Delhi, India and the first driverless metro in India.The line is laid on most of the parts of South Delhi and is mostly underground.The total length of the line is 37.46 kilometers (23.28 mi) and it consists of 25 metro stations from Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden, out of which 10 are elevated and the rest are underground.[1] Unlike the Airport Metro Express, this line directly serves Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Janakpuri West metro station on the line contains India's tallest escalator with vertical height of 15.6 metres.[2] The Magenta Line has interchanges with the Yellow Line at Hauz Khas, Blue Line at Janakpuri West & Botanical Garden and the Violet Line at Kalkaji Mandir of the Delhi Metro network.

Shankar Vihar metro station on the line is unique as it is the only station on the network where free movement of civilians is restricted by the military, as it falls in the Delhi Cantonment area and according to DMRC official "located right in the heart of the defence zone, it thus will cater primarily to defence personnel".[3] The Hauz Khas metro station on this line is the deepest Metro station at a depth of 29 metres.[4]

For the first time in India, the construction work of two parallel tunnels was completed together at Dabri Mor - Janakpuri South station.[5]: 71  The Janakpuri West, Dabri Mor - Janakpuri South & Dashrath Puri stations have been executed by an HCC-Samsung joint venture.


Jagannath Temple, Delhi

The Jagannath Temple in New Delhi, India is a modern temple built by the Odia community of Delhi dedicated to the Hindu God Jagannath. The temple located in Hauz Khas is famous for its annual Rathyatra festival attended by thousands of devotees.

Ratha Yatra

Ratha Yatra , or chariot festival, is any public procession in a chariot.[3][4] They are held annually during festivals in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.[5] The term also refers to the popular annual Ratha Yatra of Puri. that involve a public procession with a chariot with deities Jagannath (Vishnu avatar), Balabhadra (his brother), Subhadra (his sister) and Sudarshana Chakra (his weapon) on a ratha, a wooden deula-shaped chariot.

Ratha Yatra processions have been historically common in Vishnu-related (Jagannath, Rama, Krishna) traditions in Hinduism across India,[9] in Shiva-related traditions,[ saints and goddesses in Nepal, with Tirthankaras in Jainism, as well as tribal folk religions found in the eastern states of India. Notable Ratha Yatras in India include the Ratha Yatra of Puri, the Dhamrai Ratha Yatra in Bangladesh and the Ratha Yatra of Mahesh. Hindu communities outside India, such as in Singapore, celebrate Ratha Yatra such as those associated with Jagannath, Krishna, Shiva and Mariamman. According to Knut Jacobsen, a Ratha Yatra has religious origins and meaning, but the events have a major community heritage, social sharing and cultural significance to the organizers and participants.
