MAN Siddique said, 'The proposal has been sent through the ministry. We are also waiting. We can get the date any day. Everyone will be informed as soon as the date is fixed. He also said that the government's permission to announce the specific date has not yet been received. A proposal has been sent on how to open, what time is suitable for opening.

The MD of DMTCL said that it will be inaugurated at the end of this month, "We have not heard anything that it is not being inaugurated this month. Proposals have been sent for inauguration this month itself. Keeping that in mind, all preparations are being made for the inauguration. We will be fully ready by the third week of December. Then the Prime Minister will give the date and time, that day will be inaugurated.

In response to the question whether they are 100% ready for the launch of Metrorail or not, MAN Chidik said, 'The last task was the work of system integration. We said it would take three months to do this work. But we have already completed the work by night and day. Now system trial or service trial is running. I hope to be able to complete the service trial within the next few days.' He also said, 'Because of all the tests we have done, there is no need to start again from anywhere. After the service trial is over, we will do the blank operation later.'

In the beginning, the MD of DMTCL said that the metro rail will not carry full passengers and said that the international practice is that when the train starts carrying passengers after the inauguration, it should not be carried fully from the beginning. It should be gradually increased gradually.

All the latest technologies of the world are used in Metrorail projects. Within the next two to three months, 100% passengers will be transported normally.

Stating that a total of 12 trains have been prepared, MAN Siddique said, 10 trains will transport passengers directly. And two will be ready at any time at the depot. The officials who are there to run those two trains will also be there. Always keep a backup even if it is not necessary. So that the passengers do not have any problem.
