New Delhi, Jan 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday reaffirmed faith in the Metro-based transport system for the city, promising to continue financial and administrative support for the network’s expansion.
Inaugurated a new Electric Receiving Sub-Station (RSS) at Park Street (near the Central Vista Project), she said the Delhi government’s objective is to further expand the Metro network as a key mode of public transport.

The Chief Minister stated that the sub-station has been developed using new and advanced technologies, and completing its reconstruction within just 18 months is a significant achievement.
During the inauguration, the Chief Minister also received a detailed briefing from officials on the technology and functioning of the sub-station.
The Chief Minister said that the Electric Receiving Sub-Station has been developed in a manner that ensures Delhi Metro lines do not face any power-related issues and that Metro services continue to operate without interruption.
