The Group of Ministers (GoM) today approved the construction of the Metro stretches from Barakhamba Road to Indraprastha and Dwarka to Dwarka sub-city. The deadline for both stretches was pegged at March 2006. The GoM deferred the stretch from Rithala to Barwala in lieu of which the Barakhamba Road and Indraprastha stretch will be constructed. The Barakhamba and Dwarka stretches were initially proposed for Phase-I (by 2005) but were awaiting approval. The deadline has now passed to Phase-II (2005-2010).
