Qutab station to get more parking space

Thursday, 24 June, 2010
Having recorded a higher footfall than expected since the launch of the Qutab Minar-Gurgaon Metro service, the Qutab Minar Metro Station will soon have a larger parking space. Some of the areas identified for landscaping will be temporarily used for parking till the rush at the station comes down after the remaining part of the line to Central Secretariat become operational.
After an inspection of the new 14.47-km section of the Metro corridor, DMRC Managing Director E Sreedharan decided to increase the parking space at the Qutab Minar Metro Station immediately by using additional land pockets within the station, said officials. “These areas were identified for landscaping, but will be temporarily used for parking till the rush is reduced. This is likely once the entire line is connected up to Central Secretariat by this August,” an official spokesperson said.
Sreedharan also reviewed the progress of the Chhattarpur station, which is yet to be opened to the public. He also reviewed passenger facilities at the HUDA City Centre as well as the commercial complex coming up at HUDA City Centre and its integration with the Metro system. The inspection started at 8.30 am and lasted for three hours.
Sreedharan was accompanied by DMRC’s Director (Electrical) Satish Kumar, Director (Operations) Raj Kumar and Chief Project Manager Daljeet Singh.
