Reports indicate that Rapid Metrorail Gurgaon, which would give Gurgaon an effective transport system, would be opened for public by April next year.

   The Rapid Metro consists of a 6.1 km long Metrorail system connecting Sikanderpur Metro station of Delhi Metro to Cyber city and NH—8 in Gurgaon. This RMGL link will provide a feeder line to Delhi Metro and serve commuters travelling to Cyber city or NH—8 from Delhi or other parts of Gurgaon.

   In order to equip fully its personnel with modern transport technology, the Delhi Metro will conduct special training for recruits of the Rapid Metrorail Gurgaon with a batch of 30 candidates at the Delhi Metro’s Training Institute.

   The Station Controllers or Train Operators will be given a 17—week intensive training where they will get a first—hand account of the functioning and working of the Metro system.

   The DMRC will provide them customized training catering to their special needs and special training modules have been evolved or designed to suit their requirements, DMRC spokesman Anuj Dayal said.

   During the course of their training module, the candidates will be given exposure to the latest technology like the Siemens signaling system, emergency systems, Rolling Stock, station operation and management, and other aspects.
