New Delhi: A 130 metre long underground pedestrian subway was opened for public on Wednesday, said the DMRC in a statement. "The subway aims to connect the Terminal 1 – IGI Domestic Airport Metro Station in Magenta Line with the Arrival Terminal of the Domestic Airport Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport," it stated.
"The pedestrian subway was inaugurated in the presence of Vikas Kumar, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC)," it added.
Touching upon the features of pedestrian subway, the statement said, "Each entry/exit of the subway has two escalators and two lifts along with a staircase.
