The project, particularly the underwater tunnel, represents a significant advancement in India's engineering and construction expertise for complex urban infrastructure.

The newly inaugurated section of the Kolkata Metro, connecting Howrah Maidan to Esplanade, spans a length of 4.8 kilometers.

The new metro section is designed to significantly reduce travel time between key areas and improve overall connectivity for commuters.

The engineering marvel of the underwater tunnel for the Kolkata Metro is constructed beneath the Hooghly River.

The Howrah Maidan-Esplanade section of Kolkata Metro's East-West corridor is the one that includes India's first underwater tunnel.

The test highlights India's growing self-reliance and advanced capabilities in developing sophisticated indigenous missile technology.

Agni-V is the latest and longest-range missile in India's Agni series of ballistic missiles.

The test significantly boosts India's strategic deterrence, which is its ability to dissuade potential adversaries through the threat of retaliation.

The Agni-V is designed with the capability to carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), meaning multiple warheads.
