The 82 km Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor and the Meerut Metro will be inaugurated tomorrow in Uttar Pradesh. PM Modi will flag off the trains at UP'S Shatabdi Nagar Namo Bharat station. The PM will travel on the metro to the Meerut South Station and also inaugurate the other sections of India's first Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS). This includes the 5 km Sarai Kale Khan - New Ashok Nagar section in Delhi and the Meerut South - Modipuram stretch in UP.
