Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kick off the operations of the Namo Bharat train today, lighting the way from Delhi's Sarai Kale Khan to Begampul station in Meerut. This train service is anticipated to significantly enhance connectivity and ease of travel for the residents of Meerut, a region that has been eager for expanded transport options. Additionally, today's events include the inauguration of the Meerut Metro, marking a significant milestone for the local populace, as they have long awaited modern metro services in the city.

A non-stop trial run of the Namo Bharat train was conducted on February 20, highlighting its readiness for operations. The success of this trial run, alongside the trials carried out for the Meerut Metro from Begampul station to Meerut South Station, instills confidence in the local administration about the service's reliability. The official commencement of these services is scheduled for February 22, promising to change the commuting landscape of the city.

After the inaugurations, PM Modi will address a public gathering, further signifying the government's commitment to infrastructural development and improved public transport in the region. The local administration is gearing for the event with arrangements in place for a warm welcome at Hindan Airport, where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath plans to greet Modi. This collaboration between state and central authorities aims not only to boost the transport system but also to stimulate economic growth in Meerut and surrounding areas.
