New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to carry out remodeling of the Karol Bagh metro station in central Delhi by adding more escalators and dismantling an existing staircase to manage the footfall.

The tender mentions including three escalators - one on the market side from ground to concourse and two from concourse till the platform. The station currently has only one escalator and a staircase.
