[ad_1] Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced a new mode of transportation in India with the inauguration of the priority section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS also known as NaMo Bharat. The train operated in this section will be operated on a 17-km stretch covering five stations in Uttar Pradesh. Later on, the rapid rail system will be integrated with other modes of transportation including Delhi Metro to develop a multi-modal transportation system. The citizens in Delhi are familiar with the Delhi Metro and have adopted it as one of their preferred means of transportation.

Four tunnels are being constructed in Delhi for the 82-kilometer Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) for movement in both directions.  NCRTC said two parallel tunnels of about 3 km are being constructed between Anand Vihar and Khichdipur towards New Ashok Nagar RRTS station.
