💨 Abstract

The Metro Railway Kolkata is considering a 45-day shutdown of its East-West corridor for the installation of a Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system. This system is crucial for seamless direct connectivity between Howrah and Sealdah stations and the IT hub in Salt Lake township. However, no final decision has been made, as a shutdown would impact thousands of commuters and potentially collapse train services.
