Trilokpuri Block 15 where Pink Line of Delhi Metro is stuck due to resettlement of residents.

I had started this blog for writing about Google Applications but since there is nothing much to write now I am going to write about issues in Delhi.

Delhi Metro Pink Line was almost complete on 31st Dec 2018 when it started services between Lajpat Nagar and Mayur Vihar Pocket 1. Earlier It had started the services from Shiv Vihar to Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake in Oct 2018.

The stretch between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri could not be completed due to issues of resettlement of residents of Trilokpuri Block 15. See the incomplete line on following map:




Following is the exact Location of Trilokpuri Block 15



Notice on right edge of the rectangle the metro had reached from one side and bottom edge of the rectangle from other side.

The latest news on resettlement of the residents is as follows:

Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 is a terminating Station for trains coming from Majlis Park but Trilokpuri station is not designed as a terminating station. The next terminating station is IP Extension. At present only one out of 3 trains is sent from IP Extension to Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake on single Line and it returns on the same Line. If the frequency of trains at IP Extension is 5 minutes it is 15 minutes at Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake and two intermediate stations East Vinod Nagar and West Vinod Nagar.
