Jaipur Metro Line 2 Work to Begin by Diwali
Imagine Jaipur is getting a new subway line, called Line 2!
Right now, the government is waiting for the final okay.
The state and national governments are working together to pay for it.
They're planning to start building soon, maybe even before the Diwali festival.
This new line will take about 3 to 5 years to finish.
The construction team will work in parts to keep traffic from being too messy.
A large part of the money will come from a loan that is easy to pay back.
This expansion will make it easier to travel around Jaipur.
Jaipur Metro Line 2's Detailed Project Report (DPR) is awaiting final approval from the Union government.
The Rajasthan Metro Railway Corporation (RMRC) aims to begin the tender process after approval, potentially issuing work orders.
The state government plans a foundation stone-laying ceremony before Diwali, coinciding with upcoming civic polls.
Line 2 will be a joint venture between the Union and State governments, with a soft loan covering a major portion of the construction cost.
Construction is expected to take between three to five years, with diversions planned in segments to minimize disruption.
