Titled A Journey to Remember, the book chronicles the Metro’s history, technology, the team spirit and dedication that went into its making and success. The story behind the construction of technological marvels such as the Chawri Bazaar Metro station that was constructed underneath the walled city — the deepest in the system — are part of the publication. Launched by DMRC chief E. Sreedharan at the DMRC office at Barakhamba Road, the coffee-table book has 94 high-quality pages and over 50 photographs, some of them of historical value. The book has a brief description of Metros worldwide. It also discusses the genesis of the Delhi Metro, which took 32 years to become a reality since a Mass Rapid Transit Network was first recommended for the capital city. DMRC has earlier published three books — a souvenir book to commemorate the first day of operations, a coffee-table book A Dream Revisited and a photo compilation Images of An Urban Transformation. The mass transit system of the capital has an existing 65-km network and it ferries over 700,000 passengers every day. —IANS
