Delhi Metro commuters get a chance to take selfies with Prime Minister Modi


It was a day of selfies with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for lucky commuters when he took the Delhi Metro for a change to inaugurate the extension of the Badarpur Line that will connect the satellite city of Faridabad to the national capital.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 6 September 2015.
The PM, accustomed to jetting across the globe, boarded the Metro at the Violet Line's (Line 6) Janpath Station at around 10 AM to go to Faridabad's Bata Chowk Station. His decision took passengers and Metro officials by surprise because as per plans, he was scheduled to take a chopper to Faridabad.
He took the opportunity to interact with the regular commuters and allowed them to take selfies with him.
The launch of this section of Delhi Metro would make way for a hassle-free travel for nearly two lakh daily commuters between the national capital and the industrial hub in Haryana. This 14-Km long extension will have nine stations from Sarai to Escorts Mujesar and another two at NCB Colony and Ballabgarh will be added by 2017.
