The extension of the Delhi Metro connects Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar in Faridabad. The total cost of the project from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar is nearly Rs. 2,500 crore. Out of this, Rs. 1,557 crore was borne by the Haryana Government, the Centre contributed Rs. 537 crore, while the Delhi Metro provided Rs. 400 crore. The nine stations in this section include, Sarai, NHPC Chowk, Mewala Maharajpur, Sector 28, Badkal Mor, Old Faridabad, Neelam Chowk Ajronda, Bata Chowk and Escorts Mujesar. All these are elevated and located on either side of the Delhi-Mathura Road (NH-2). "The nine-station metro corridor which was 95 per cent indigenously built will provide people a safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable, environment-friendly and sustainable transport facility," a Haryana government spokesperson said. Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar, addressing a press conference on Saturday, had thanked the Prime Minister for "gifting" the Metro service which would take the city to "another level of progress" with better connectivity with other NCR towns. He had also said that the Prime Minister would be announcing the go-ahead for connecting Gurgaon with Faridabad by Metro. http://www.ndtv.com/delhi-news/pm-narendra-modi-inaugurates-delhi-faridabad-metro-line-1214691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalia_Test Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks to Honorable Prime Minister Shri Modijee for starting construction of faridabad extension in 2012 and Gifting this Metro service to his humble subjects. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/141201/nation-politics/article/congress-will-celebrate-december-9-telangana-day Congress leaders described the decision as Sonia Gandhi’s birthday gift to the people of Telangana. “Former home minister P. Chidambaram had announced in Parliament that the Centre will create a Telangana state respecting the aspirations of the people on December 9, 2009,†said Naresh, and added that the historical decision on the formation of Telangana was party president Sonia Gandhi’s birthday gift to the people. Thanks to extra-constitutional authority Sonia for "gifting" Telangana to the people - an agitation that started in late 50s - 60s. She might have not even met Rajiv then but its OK I guess.
