Capital will soon get Metro rail in the city and if it will be as schedule then it will start operation from March 2013. The ground level work will begin in March 2010, and the project will be readied by March 2013. This was announced at a high-level meeting between chief minister Ashok Gehlot and general manager of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), E Sreedharan on Friday. The proposed route will be a 9-km long elevated track connecting Mansarovar and Chandpole. This will be part of 12 km long East West corridor from Ramganj to Mansarovar via Badi Choupar, Choti Choupar, Chandpole, Ajmer Road, Gopalpura Bypass, New Sanganer Road and Mansarovar.
The government has given its consent to the final module. Soon the project will be sent for cabinet clearance following which it will be sent to the Centre for funds. In the first phase, 28.5 km-long Metro corridor will be constructed at a cost of Rs 5,300 crore, including 12 km east west corridor and 16.5 km long North South corridor from the Jawahar Circle to Jal Mahal. Gehlot has instructed the JDA and JMC to provide assistance for quick initiation of the Metro services. He directed them to mark the areas for acquisition of land to establish the stations. He said 400 buses will be introduced under the Bus Rapid Transport Services (BRTS) to facilitate the project.

Lets hope the Jaipur metro will remain clean like the Delhi metro and not convert into the railway station which more or less looks like a heap of garbage.
