Last week, a small segment of Pink Line at Trilokpuri was inaugurated making it the longest operational corridor of the network. This made the 59-km-long Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor or the Pink Line, which constitutes 38 stations, fully linked for the first time, PTI reported. 

Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal jointly inaugurated the section of about 289 metre between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake stations, virtually. 

The Pink Line was opened in multiple phases in 2018.
