Video Shows India's First-Ever Underwater Metro Service In Kolkata

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Wednesday inaugurate the Howrah Maidan-Esplanade section of the East-West Metro corridor, a part of which runs under a river – the Hooghly.

The Howrah Maidan-Esplanade section with the first transportation tunnel “under any mighty river in India” will have the deepest Metro station in India at the Howrah Metro station.

Nestled under the River Hooghly, separating the twin cities of Kolkata and Howrah on its east and west banks respectively, this feat stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity.
