Bihar CM Nitish Kumar flags off Patna Metro

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday flagged off the Patna Metro, the state’s first metro service. Nitish Kumar also initiated the construction of the underground metro from Rukunpura to Patna Junction.

The flag-off ceremony was held at the ISBT Metro Station. After the inauguration, Kumar personally took part in its maiden ride from the ISBT Depot metro station to Bhoothnath metro



station.

Several state ministers and senior officials accompanied him during the ceremony, which drew enthusiastic crowds eager to witness the landmark moment. In its first phase, the metro will operate on a 4.3 km stretch between New ISBT — Zero Mile — Bhootnath stations, with services open to the public immediately after the inauguration. It will be further extended to Khemnichak and Malahi Pakadi later this year.
