India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the metro line between Noida and Delhi, unveiling a plaque at Botanical Garden metro station, and travelled briefly on the metro train, to mark the inauguration of a section of the Magenta Line of the Delhi Metro. This connects Botanical Garden in Noida with Kalkaji Mandir in South Delhi.
“We live in an era in which connectivity is all-important. This inaugurated metro line would serve not just the present, but also future generations,”Modi said. He said that by 2022, when we mark 75 years of freedom, he dreams that we live in an India in which our petrol imports reduce. In order to achieve this, he added, state-of-the-art mass transit systems are the need of the hour. Noting that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji took a ride on the Delhi Metro in December 2002, Shri Narendra Modi said that since then, the metro network in the National Capital Region has expanded considerably.
