Dedicated metro stations for Red Fort, Jama Masjid
As part of the project, the 16th century Mughal monument Humayun`s tomb in South Delhi would also be connected by Metro.
"The completion of the third phase of Delhi Metro`s construction is expected to boost tourism in Old Delhi as the heritage monuments in the area will become connected by the Metro," a Delhi Metro spokesman said.
Though Old Delhi already has Metro connectivity, one has to alight at the Chandni Chowk station and walk through the by-lanes of the Walled City to catch of glimpse of Red Fort or Jama Masjid.
Both the proposed Red Fort and Jama Masjid stations will be located on the Central Secretariat-Kashmere Gate corridor that will pass through a number of heritage structures.
Phase-III, which will connect another 103 km of the capital through Metro, will also provide easy access to Lotus Temple as it will have direct Metro connectivity from Noida and many other areas of Outer Ring Road.
