The Metro tour was a memorable one for those who worked on the project and the grateful company of these youngsters. We also traveled through the tunnel under the river Hooghly.
Prime Minster Modi said : It is a very special day for the people of Kolkata as the city’s metro system is undergoing significant expansion. This will speed up the communication system and reduce traffic congestion. It is a proud moment that the country’s first underwater metro transport tunnel under a major river of our country has been inaugurated on the Howrah Maidan-Esplanade Metro Branch.
