PM inaugurates Kanpur Metro Rail Project

The PM inspected the details of the project and took a metro ride from IIT Metro Station to Geeta Nagar. He also inaugurated the Bina-Panki multiproduct pipeline project.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister Hardeep Puri were also present on the occasion.

The Prime Minister congratulated the people of Kanpur for the metro connectivity and the inauguration of the pipeline project.

Recalling his long association with the city, he mentioned the city’s role in shaping stalwarts such as Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Sunder Singh Bhandari.

He also noted the change in image for the state of Uttar Pradesh. He said that a state, which was known for illegal weapons, is now the center of the Defense Corridor, which is contributing to the security and security of the country.

The PM stressed that before 2014, the total length of the metro running in Uttar Pradesh was 9 km. Between 2014 and 2017, the length of the metro increased to a total of 18 km. If today we also include Kanpur Metro, then the length of metro in the state has now exceeded 90 kms.

“Our government laid the foundation stone of Kanpur Metro, our government is also dedicating it. Our government laid the foundation stone of Purvanchal Expressway, our own government has completed its work.

The Prime Minister said that considering the needs of the state, the double engine government is doing concrete work. “The double engine government of Uttar Pradesh is today trying to compensate for the loss of time in the past. We are working at double the speed.”

Referring to the uneven development of the past, the Prime Minister said that for decades one part was developed and the other was left behind. It is equally important to remove this inequality in the society at the level of the states. That’s why our government is working on the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.”
