Prime Minister Modi inaugurated India's first underwater metro tunnel on March 6, as part of phase 2 of the East-West metro in Kolkata. The tunnel is constructed 13 metres below the riverbed and was completed in just 66 days, making it an engineering marvel. However, the construction of the tunnel faced numerous challenges. To learn about these challenges and the features of the tunnel that runs from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade, watch the video.
This restored steamer, originally built in 1945, is setting sail across the Hooghly and reliving its glorious past once again
The underwater metro corridor will stretch up to 16.6-km, of which 520 metres will be 33 meters below the riverbed of Hooghly.
An absorbing new book shines a light on the time when the Hooghly was a global waterway attracting merchants, missionaries, statesmen, soldiers and others from all over.
