Kolkata: West Bengal government planning to run mono rail in New Town
West Bengal Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim was quoted as saying by aitcofficial.org: "The state government is keen to revive the entire transport system. As part of this initiative we are planning to introduce mono rail in Salta Lake Sector-V and New Town. The idea is to connect the mono rail with the Metro Rail so that people can enjoy a world class transport system."
He said the government is in the process to implement the project.
"The planning is there and we are in the process of implementing the project. We have to wait a little bit as the population of New Town is yet to achieve its potential. For the survival of such projects there needs to be enough users,” he said.
