The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) will conduct the final safety check of the Pune Metro--Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi stretch, on January 20, said officials.
Earlier, on January 6, a team from CMRS inspected the said stretch to ensure safety and functionality. They have concluded the inspection after a week.
The CMRS team inspected the metro station to ensure its safety and functionality. They checked various aspects such as staircases, lifts, and escalators to ensure that these meet the required standards. They assessed facilities for the differently-abled and regular passengers, like toilets, ramps, and signage. The team conducted a mock drill to test the fire prevention system, including smoke detection and fire alarms, and evaluated the readiness of the metro station staff to handle emergencies and evacuate passengers.
Atul Gadgil, director (works) of Maha-Metro, said, “Team completed inspection and suggested minor observations on Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi stretch.
