LUCKNOW: Emphasizing on tackling the urban India traffic issue, prime minister Narendra Modi lauded the role of metro train services.
Speaking at New urban India- transforming urban landscape expo, Modi said, “Metro is a great example of the holistic approach with which work is being done on both the problem of traffic and the challenge of pollution.”
“Today metro service is expanding rapidly across the country. In 2014 less than 250 km of metro train was operational for public, whereas today more than 750 km of metro is operational all over India. Apart from this metro is being constructed on more than 1,050 Kms and in Uttar Pradesh it is being constructed in six cities,” he said.
