Ghaziabad News : The Ghaziabad district has achieved a significant milestone in public transport with the commencement of passenger services on the newly launched 17km stretch of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) from Duhai to Modinagar (North). This development completes the entire 34km RRTS corridor within the district, as confirmed by officials from the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), the entity responsible for the project’s execution.
The expansion follows the earlier operation of trains on a 17km priority section that connected Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and Duhai Depot. The recent inauguration of an additional 17km segment, featuring stations at Muradnagar, Modinagar (south), and Modinagar (north), was officiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi via video conferencing from Kolkata on March 6.
