Delhi government has given in-principle approval to a 10.8 kilometres long mono-rail system which will be connected to the Metro lines in east Delhi. The government plans to connect Shastri Park with Laxmi Nagar via Trilokpuri through a mono-rail having 12 stations from where commuters can access the system. The new system is expected to supplement the existing inter-city transport modes like the Metro. The project is being developed in a way that the new system makes it possible to interchange with three Delhi Metro lines. The in-principle approval came at a high-level meeting chaired by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and attended by other Ministers and officials. Mrs Dikshit said, it has been decided that a detailed note will be discussed in a Cabinet meeting to give a formal approval in this regard. The mono-rail is expected to attract a daily rider ship of around 1.5 lakh and will be able to provide an inter-city transport service in congested localities in East Delhi.
