Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took a metro ride after inaugurating the extension of the Airport Express line in Delhi's Dwarka.
The Prime Minister, who turned 73 today, interacted with the passengers inside the metro as they wished him. The passengers were seen clapping and singing "Happy Birthday Modi ji", and even clicking selfies with him.
PM Modi gave chocolates to the children who greeted him.
The high-speed corridor has been extended from Dwarka Sector 21 station to the Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 station.
The nearly 2-kilometre-long extension will connect Dwarka Sector 21 and India International Convention Centre. "With the addition of this section, the total length of the Airport Express Line from New Delhi to Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector-25 will be 24.9 km," the DMRC said in a statement.
After inaugurating the Airport Express line, PM Modi unveiled the International Convention and Expo Centre (IICC), also called 'Yashobhoomi' in Dwarka.
The convention centre, built across more than 73,000 square metres, has 15 convention rooms, including the main auditorium, the grand ballroom and 13 meeting rooms.
The auditorium has an innovative automated seating system which converts the flat floor into an auditorium style tiered seating.
