| Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation Limited<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The much-awaited India&#8217;s first underwater metro is all set to be operational by December 2023. The underwater metro will run between Kolkata and Howrah, making it a first-of-its-kind project in the country. Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation Limited (KMRCL) is working on this ambitious project, which will provide a much-needed alternative mode of transportation to commuters traveling between Kolkata and Howrah. This project is expected to revolutionize the public transportation system in Kolkata, which is currently struggling with traffic congestion and pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underwater metro project is a 16.6 km long route, out of which 10.8 km will be underground, and 6.7 km will be under the Hooghly River. The tunnel under the Hooghly River will have two sections, each of 520 meters. The tunnel will connect Kolkata&#8217;s Howrah station and Mahakaran station in Salt Lake City, reducing the travel time between the two stations to just 16 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The construction of the underwater metro project started in 2009, and it faced many hurdles and delays in its completion. The project&#8217;s construction was delayed due to various reasons, including land acquisition issues, technical problems, and the Covid-19 pandemic. However, after a long wait, the project is finally expected to be operational by December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" id=\"India's-First-Underwater-Metro\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Indias-First-Underwater-Metro-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"India's First Underwater Metro\" class=\"wp-image-448\" title=\"India's First Underwater Metro\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Indias-First-Underwater-Metro-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Indias-First-Underwater-Metro-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Indias-First-Underwater-Metro-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Indias-First-Underwater-Metro-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">India&#8217;s First Underwater Metro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_this_News_is_important\"><\/span>Why this News is important:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news of India&#8217;s first underwater metro becoming operational by December 2023 is significant for various reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternative_mode_of_transportation\"><\/span>Alternative mode of transportation: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underwater metro project will provide an alternative mode of transportation to commuters traveling between Kolkata and Howrah.
