PM Modi inaugurates Pragati Maidan tunnel and five underpasses in Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday inaugurated the 1.3-km-long Pragati Maidan tunnel and five underpasses on Mathura Road.
The Pragati Maidan corridor has been built at a cost of more than Rs 920 crore and is funded entirely by the Union government. It is aimed at providing hassle-free and smooth access to the new world-class exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan.
On Sunday, Modi suggested that the tunnel be closed to traffic for four-five hours once a week and instead educational tours be organised for schoolchildren at the site to teach them art, culture and festivals of the country.
