Jagran correspondent, Meerut. Krantidhara Meerut has had the good fortune of having a state-of-the-art transport system in its history. The country's first Regional Rapid Rail i.e. Namo Bharat, the country's most modern and fastest metro will be seen running in this city from today.
Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the remaining portion of Namo Bharat Train (from Meerut South to Modipuram and New Ashok Nagar to Sarai Kale Khan) and Meerut Metro. He will also address the public meeting. Its preparations have been completed.
Once upon a time, if someone had said that the journey from Meerut to Delhi would be completed within an hour, no one would have believed it. Even then the distance was only about 70 kilometers, but at that time Delhi seemed very far. Crossing Modinagar, Muradnagar and Rajnagar Extension was like a dream for the people of Meerut. Sometimes due to traffic jam it would take from morning till evening to reach.
The exercise regarding rapid rail was started around 2010.
