Haryana Governor Solanki, Khattar, Union Ministers Venkaiah Naidu, Birender Singh, Rao lnderjlt Singh, Krishan Pal, Babul Supriyo, Chairman of DMRC and others would accompany him in the inaugural ride, the spokesperson said in Chandigarh.
The Haryana government spokesperson said, "The extension of Delhi Metro from Badarpur to Escorts Mujesar will not only meet the long pending demand of about two lakh people commuting between Delhi and Faridabad every day, but also make travelling easy, save lot of time, energy and money,".
"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," the spokesperson added.
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), he said.
