Watch: PM Modi Rides with Students in India's First Underwater Metro Tunnel in Kolkata
In a historic stride towards the future of transportation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a groundbreaking Metro ride through India's first-ever underwater Metro tunnel in Kolkata, West Bengal. The momentous journey unfolded at the Mahakaran metro station, where the Prime Minister engaged in lively conversations with eager school students who had the unique opportunity to be seated in the country's inaugural underwater Metro train.
A video shared by the news agency ANI captured the essence of the occasion as PM Modi interacted with the students. Demonstrating a warm gesture, he arranged for the students to sit beside him before delving into enlightening conversations.
Expressing her excitement before the underwater Metro ride, Pragya, a school student, conveyed, "I am very excited to meet PM Modi and travel with him on the underwater metro." Another student, Ishika Mahato, shared her joy at the prospect of meeting PM Modi, emphasizing the significance of the moment.
The Kolkata Metro extension, specifically the Howrah Maidan-Esplanade Metro section, signifies a groundbreaking achievement as it pioneers India's first transportation tunnel beneath a significant river. This marks a pivotal moment in the nation's infrastructure advancement, enhancing connectivity and accessibility.
On the same day, PM Modi not only inaugurated the underwater metro but also laid the foundation stones for various other projects collectively valued at Rs. 15,400 crores in Kolkata.
Beyond the underwater metro, PM Modi unveiled two additional Metro sections in Kolkata – the Kavi Subhash - Hemanta Mukhopadhyay Metro section and the Taratala - Majerhat Metro section, both integral parts of the Joka-Esplanade line. The Majerhat Metro Station, a notable architectural marvel, stretches across railway lines, platforms, and a canal, showcasing a creative approach to urban mobility enhancement.
The inauguration ceremony extended its reach beyond Kolkata, with PM Modi inaugurating and laying foundation stones for significant national projects. These include the Pune Metro's stretch from Ruby Hall Clinic to Ramwadi, the Kochi Metro Rail Phase I Extension from SN Junction Metro station to Tripunithura Metro station, the Agra Metro's stretch from Taj East Gate to Mankameshwar, and the Duhai-Modinagar (North) section of the Delhi-Meerut RRTS Corridor.
