The Urban Development and Housing Department, Bihar, has accorded approval for the metro train project in Patna.
The Urban Ministry has decided to go ahead with the metro train project instead of the monorail project, which the state capital had earlier intended to set up.
The Patna Metro train project will be implemented in four phases and the Patna Metro Train Corporation will be set up before 15 August, 2014.
The Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) will conduct a survey for construction of the metro in Patna.
Apart from this, an interim report of the project will be forwarded soon to the Union Urban Development Ministry.
