Ultimately the good news comes for the Kolkata metro commuters. Finally, the Sealdah metro station is ready to serve the people. Metro officials confirmed that tomorrow 11th July is the inauguration day of the Sealdah underground metro station and it will be inaugurated by Union Minister Smt. Smriti Irani.
The three-tier Sealdah Metro Station is East-West Metro’s seventh stop from the Salt Lake end. The 2.3-km stretch of the upcoming Sealdah Metro station had reportedly received already safety clearance from the commissioner of railway safety (CRS) in March this year. This metro station has an interchange facility for commuters to access Eastern Railway train services.
The station has eight staircases, 18 escalators, five lifts and four platforms.
From Salt Lake Sector V to Sealdah, passengers can zip 10 kilometres within 20 minutes.
It is interesting to note that Sealdah Metro station is 1.5 times bigger than Phool Bagan Metro station. The metro station has an island platform, a glass roof entry point and so many beautiful architectural works.
