We may want to reproduce such work in the upcoming Metro Rail projects in Bhopal and Indore.”A feasibility study for executing Metro Rail work in the two cities had already begun, he said.“Our Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan wants the state to develop in all respects. In this visit, we learnt about various aspects on sectors including health, education and agriculture from Tamil Nadu,” Mr Jain said.The members briefly interacted with workers on the site and enquired about the techniques employed and the deadline they are set to meet.Rajendra Mishra, one of the advisors, said there was a growing need to focus on Metro Rail work in the rapidly developing urban cities. “We have Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in two cities there already. Now, we have to also focus on the construction of Metro Rail work,” Mr. Mishra added.
