GHAZIABAD: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), the agency exe cuting the 82-km long Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project, said the project is in the final stages with safety inspections underway for non-operational sections. It is likely to be operational for passengers soon, the corporation added. “Recently, we conducted a successful trial run for the entire 82km corridor, and the train arrived at all stoppages between Sarai Kale Khan (in Delhi) and Modipuram (the last station in Meerut) in less than an hour. As things are progressing fast, we are hoping that the system will be operational very soon,” said NCRTC’s chief public relation officer Puneet Vats. The 82-km project is aimed at connecting the cities of Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut with Namo Bharat trains, and the project was scheduled to be completed in June, 2025. The train’s journey from Meerut to Delhi will take 55 minutes once the entire 82km route gets operational. Currently, the train services are operational on a 55km stretch from New Ashok Nagar in Delhi to Meerut (south), covering II stations with two in Delhi, eight in Ghaziabad and one in Meerut.
