New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra
Modi has flagged-off the Delhi-

Haryana.
The extension of the Delhi Metro
connects Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar
in Faridabad.
The total cost of the project from
Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar is nearly
Rs 2,500 crore. Out of this, Rs 1,557
crore was borne by the Haryana
Government, the Centre contributed
Rs 537 crore, while the Delhi Metro
provided Rs 400 crore.
The nine stations in this section
include, Sarai, NHPC Chowk, Mewala
Maharajpur, Sector 28, Badkal Mor, Old
Faridabad, Neelam Chowk Ajronda,

these are elevated and located on
either side of the Delhi-Mathura Road
(NH-2).

"The nine-station metro corridor
which was 95 per cent indigenously
built will provide people a safe,
affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable,
environment-friendly and sustainable
transport facility," a Haryana
government spokesperson said.
Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar,
addressing a press conference on
Saturday, had thanked the Prime
Minister for "gifting" the Metro service
which would take the city to "another
level of progress" with better
connectivity with other NCR towns.
He had also said that the Prime
Minister would be announcing the go-
ahead for connecting Gurgaon with
Faridabad by Metro. Source: http://www.ndtv.com
