This will provide an alternative route between [[Central Secretariat metro station|Central Secretariat]] and Kashmere Gate, alleviating crowds on the heavily used Yellow Line.
It was inaugurated on 28 May 2017 by the then Union minister Sh. [[Venkaiah Naidu]] .<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.delhimetrorail.com/press_reldetails.aspx?id=gBXbV1MZs1Ulld|title=First Tunnel Breakthrough Of Phase - III At Janpath Metro Station|access-date=2013-06-10}}</ref>
