PM To Inaugurate Metro Rail Extension Linking Ahmedabad To Gandhinagar On Sep 16
News 18Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the much-awaited metro rail extension from Ahmedabad to Gandhinagar on September 16, improving connectivity between the two cities, during his Gujarat visit. The PM will be on a two-day visit to his home state from September 15 and among several programmes, he will be inaugurating the Ahmedabad metro extension Phase 2, a Gujarat government release said. The project, developed by the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation in collaboration with the state government and the Centre, will further expand the metro network, linking key locations between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar like GNLU, PDEU, Gift City, Raysan, Randesan, Dholakuva, Infocity and Sector-1, said the release. The extended metro route dramatically reduces the travel time between Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s commercial hub, and state capital Gandhinagar, located nearly 25km apart.
