Metro passengers to experience unique light and sound effect during the under river trip

IndiaTimes Friday, 5 January 2024
The long-cherished dream of an underwater metro journey in India is on the verge of realization. The East-West Metro is set to commence operations this year, connecting Howrah and Kolkata beneath the Hooghly River. The construction of twin subaqueous tunnels, spanning 520 meters, is an engineering marvel completed within a record 66 days. Passengers will experience a unique and unforgettable journey as the inner walls of the tunnels will be illuminated with blue lights and 40 illuminated fishes will appear to swim alongside the train.
