PM TO INAUGAURATE NEW METRO CORRIDOR

New Delhi, June 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to inaugurate the 11.2- km- long fully- elevated Mundka- Bahadurgarh corridor of the Delhi Metro’s Green Line on Sunday, sources said on Friday.

The MundkaBahadurgarh stretch, with seven stations, would be an extension of the existing Green Line ( standardgauge tracks) from Inderlok to Mundka.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the facility using remote control from the PMO on Sunday,” a highlyplaced source said.

Union urban affairs minister Hardeep Puri and Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khatter will attend the function in Bahadurgarh, the source said.

The services on the new corridor will begin from 4 pm on June 24, they said.

The commissioner for Metro rail safety ( CMRS) has already given approval for starting passenger services.

After the opening of this corridor, the entire Inderlok- Bahadurgarh section would become 26.33 km long. With the opening of this section, the Delhi Metro network will expand to 288 km with 208 stations.
