Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut turned into a sea of saffron on Sunday as PM Narendra Modi launched the Namo Bharat train and Meerut Metro, plus projects totaling Rs 12,930 crore. The flag-off at Shatabdi Nagar station drew massive crowds eager for change.
People poured into the public meeting venue early, sharing stories of transformation. One resident declared, ‘Modi ji’s gift is priceless for Meerut and beyond—Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Haridwar will prosper. Delhi travel slashed from four hours to 50 minutes smooth ride.’
A vocal RLD member called it ‘history in motion,’ profusely thanking the leader. ‘No more Delhi-bound traffic hell.’
Insight from Pradeep Dwivedi: ‘Namo Bharat connects NCR’s giants—Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad—with Meerut. This synergy boosts rural-urban growth exponentially.’
The energy was palpable. ‘India’s first high-speed train makes Meerut-Delhi neighbors,’ cheered another. A woman highlighted practical gains: ‘Great for the country. Metro eases student and medical trips to Delhi—fast, frugal.’
Beyond the cheers, this infrastructure leap promises lasting impact: enhanced connectivity driving commerce, skill-building, and family ties. Modi’s push for rapid transit redefines regional dynamics, making western Uttar Pradesh a hub of opportunity and efficiency.
