India's First Underwater Metro Tunnel In Kolkata | Howrah to Esplanade East-West Metro Phase 2

On March 6th, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated India's first underwater metro tunnel as part of phase 2 of the East-West metro in Kolkata. The tunnel is constructed 13 metres below the riverbed and was completed in just 66 days, making it an engineering marvel. However, the construction of the tunnel faced numerous challenges. To learn about these challenges and the features of the tunnel that runs from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade, watch the video.

Sealdah bound passengers can easily reach Howrah in no time. Achieving this underwater metro is not only a remarkable feat but also an Engineering Masterpiece. I am eagerly waiting to take a ride on this new line.

Kolkata is full of such dilapidated structures.KMC should demolish them and create free space or space for development of other projects or create parks over there.

The construction was not completed in 66 days. Pls rectify

[@somensur8856]

Proud to be Calcuttan❤.

[@pritijha]

Wrong facts... 66 days seriously... Please come to Kolkata once.. we have waited years...

[@swarajdubey9829]

The tunnel was really placed in 66 days. Even though the project took a little over a decade. I think we should appreciate such an engineering marvel rather than correcting the facts.

Didi has brainwhed you? May be her goons stalled the progress on this work.

Bro, I am just happy for my city. I don’t know about didi and dada.

What is wrong going on, as Indian I am feeling proud… no matter it is done in so and so days or not.. this project is for general public.. please use your Brian sometimes..🙏🙏

[@johnpereira5599]

I'm keen to know.. can we actually see fishes 🐟 from this Underwater Metro Train?? Please can someone tell me.. My first visit to Kolkata(Calcutta) City was mainly coz of their iconic Trams, but i want to visit again to see Underwater Metro 🚇 Lots of Love❤ to Kolkata City from Goa.

[@Arshadkhan-official]

No you can't see the fishes because tunnel is made up of opaque object, I was just visit this metro train but you can't feel that you are under water but it solves the major problem of transportation by connecting howrah to Kolkata.

​@@KPlyf You want the tunnel structure to fail and people get killed in the process ? Are you a civil engineer? I don't know about nationalism but you are acting illiterate. Get well soon and I hope your family doesn't suffer what you wish for other people.

​@@SaudiNomad Because it's a central government project. I am from Kolkata and Modiji is the one who inaugurated this. Because Mamata didn't do shit.
