Metro reaches Gurgaon

A Delhi Metro train finally chugged into Gurgaon, the millennium city today, thereby bringing the satellite city a little closer to the national capital.

The 14.47 km link connecting Qutub Minar with HUDA City Centre in Gurgaon was inaugurated for the public in the morning as revenue services commenced simultaneously at both stations.

With this, Gurgaon has become the second satellite city to get Metro connectivity after Noida, where it reached last November.

People of the Millennium City have been waiting for an effective transport system to travel to and from Delhi and the launch of Metro services is likely to ease some pressure on road traffic.
