NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 73rd birthday was a day packed with inaugurations and interactions, as he embarked on a metro ride, unveiled the first phase of a new convention center, and launched a scheme to support traditional artisans.
He began his day by taking a metro ride on the newly inaugurated high-speed corridor connecting Dwarka Sector-21 with the India International Convention Centre (IICC). During the ride, he interacted with passengers, wished children on their birthday, and posed for selfies. He also took the time to chat with the staff of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), acknowledging their vital role in ensuring smooth transportation for the city’s residents.
The new metro corridor spans nearly 2 kilometers and extends the Airport Express Line to a total length of 24.9 kilometers. This expansion enhances connectivity in the national capital and provides more efficient transportation options for the citizens of Delhi.
