The stations are Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake, East Vinod Nagar-Mayur Vihar-II, Mandawali-West Vinod Nagar, IP Extension, Anand Vihar ISBT, Karkardooma, Karkardooma Court, Krishna Nagar, East Azad Nagar, Welcome, Jaffrabad, Maujpur-Babarpur, Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave and Shiv Vihar. “The main highlight of this section will be the presence of three interchange stations – Anand Vihar (with the Blue Line), Karkardooma (with the Blue Line) and Welcome (with the Red Line),” the official said. After the opening of this new section, the Delhi Metro network will expand to nearly 314 kms. Once inaugurated, it will leave just the Lajpat Nagar-Trilokpuri corridor unopened. Incidentally, a small section near Trilokpuri is facing a roadblock, due to issues raised by local residents, which the metro has been resolving for a long time. The Shiv Vihar-Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake stretch is part of the 59-km-long Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor (Pink Line), which falls under the Phase-III network of the DMRC.
