TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Work is in progress on over 1,000 km long metro rail network in 27 cities in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday. He was speaking after performing the ground breaking ceremony of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project Phase-II and Surat Metro Rail Project via video conferencing.
“There was a time when there was no modern thinking and policy on metro in our country. The result was that there was a different (type of) metro in each city,” Modi said.
Stating that the metro network in Ahmedabad and Surat will further strengthen the connectivity in the two major business centres of the country, Modi said the government is developing an integrated urban transport system.
The difference between the approach of his government and the previous governments is the (pace of) expansion of the metro rail network across the country, he said.
