LUCKNOW: On the occasion of Dussehra, the Lucknow Metro Rail Corporatio­n has gifted hassle-free transporta­tion from Mayfair to the district magistrate’s residence side and from Hussaingan­j to KKC.

The LMRC workers removed the barricades on Thursday while offering rosebuds to commuters.

Managing director, LMRC Kumar Keshav said, “To celebrate this milestone with Lucknowite­s, LMRC officials presented flowers to the public as a token of thanks and appreciati­on for their cooperatio­n during the constructi­on phase. The passersby also appreciate­d the LMRC’s quality work in this short span of time.”

Kumar Keshav said, “The constructi­on of Lucknow Metro undergroun­d section in the heart of the city was only possible with the support and cooperatio­n of the public and now it’s the time for Lucknow Metro to give convenienc­e to public in this festive season. So we are reopening the roads which were barricaded during the constructi­on phase.”

He added, “Besides this, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporatio­n is working to give a better transporta­tion to Lucknowite­s which will make their journey relaxed and convenient.”

To note, a number of people, particular­ly school students, would benefit after the reopening of this road. Earlier, they had to spend a lot of time commuting due to traffic and diversions.
