[00:00:00] people will benefit greatly, jams is high, where the look, let me tell you that the initial biggest thing is the lack of space.
[00:00:04] plan is to run 15 metro trains, a metro will arrive every 10 minutes
[00:00:08] at intervals,
[00:00:11] are working to promote technology apart from this, the capacity of each metro is said to be 900 passengers and the speed is 80
[00:00:15] kilometers, so in a way, the students, the
[00:00:19] working people will get a speed and along with speed,
[00:00:22] for people traveling by metro they will get an option and I also told you earlier
[00:00:25] that there are two levels on one pillar,
[00:00:28] there is road transport and there is metro also on one pillar,
[00:00:32] it is a new kind of beginning in itself and apart from this,
[00:00:35] total
[00:00:38] it has been built with modernity, 11 stations have been opened and total there are 17 metro stations
[00:00:41] out of which 11 are double-decker part, six stations today
[00:00:45] are currently not included in the stoppage but in future those
[00:00:48] stations will also be included in the stoppage, which will benefit the people there,
[00:00:52] as you said the Interchanged
[00:00:55] station made at Vadapalani will help the passengers of West Chennai
[00:00:59] to go to the city, whether it is Central Chennai, whether it is railway, whether it is
[00:01:03] airport, they will get full help to go there and in a way,
[00:01:06] if we talk about the entire vision of Phase Two,
[00:01:10] then 118 km new line is included
[00:01:13] in it and 128 stations are included
[00:01:16] and its inauguration has been done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
[00:01:20] when this whole will be completed,
[00:01:23] then you can understand how strong connectivity will be seen in Chennai
[00:01:27] and the year 2047
[00:02:00] to deal with it, the public transport has to be increased,
[00:02:03] its expansion, in which context the second phase of this metro
[00:02:07] rail project has been expanded, so the
[00:02:11] goal of last mile connectivity also seems to be reflected
[00:03:05] accelerates it for economic
[00:03:30] and its effect will be clearly visible in Chennai in the coming time and through the pictures
[00:03:34] you can see that the Prime Minister himself took that ticket through the QR code
[00:03:37] and as Nishant Rai was also mentioning all these arrangements
[00:03:41] that with the use of QR code, now ticket
[00:03:44] vending will be easier and here
[00:03:48] how the Porur Bypass Metro has been made equipped with all these
[00:03:52] facilities and this memento has also been gifted
[00:03:56] to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister is seen here flagging off
[00:04:00] the Chief Minister is also present here, this visit of the Prime Minister to Tamil Nadu is especially
[00:04:03] considered a big step to make connectivity
[00:04:07] and people's lives easier and convenient,
[00:04:10] the journey from Bypass Station to Poonamallee Bypass Station
[00:04:13] and you see that metro is somewhere like a lifeline
[00:04:18] the future India for people, especially for those people who have to use
[00:04:21] it for their daily transport system, which Nishant
[00:04:25] was also mentioning, so Nishant, it can be clearly assumed that
[00:04:28] this is a big day for the people of Tamil Nadu in the context of the urban transport
[00:04:32] system's improvement, its high quality,
[00:04:35] its advanced access, see, as
[00:04:39] you said that Prime Minister
[00:04:49] that if you book tickets online,
[00:04:51] employment to them, all major facilities if you go through online QR code, then Chennai Metro
[00:04:54] will give you a 20% discount. Apart from this,
[00:04:58] its maximum fare is ₹50, that means
[00:05:02] the common people's fare has been kept in mind
[00:05:06] so that they do not face any problem
[00:05:08] you have to reach there, and they can easily go from
[00:05:11] one place to another and all these things have been taken
[00:05:15] care of and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
[00:05:18] scanning of the QR code shows how people
[00:05:24] and moving forward in that direction
[00:05:27] and in a way, it can be said that the 20% discount being given
[00:05:31] is a big discount in itself
[00:05:39] and also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu
[00:06:42] See, absolutely, and the challenge of construction, see, in any
[00:06:46] city, laying metro tracks is not easy,
[00:06:50] the biggest thing is the availability of land, road traffic should
[00:06:53] not be affected, construction materials and heavy structures
[00:06:56] that have to be erected there, so that there is minimum pollution
[00:07:00] and along with it, the double-decker has started, so this is a big engineering
[00:07:04] challenge, which can be seen in Phase 2 of Chennai Metro,
[00:07:07] it has been done very easily and very strongly
[00:07:11] and to meet the needs of urban transport
[00:07:15] in a way, multi-level structures
[00:07:18] in the future we will see in other Indian
[00:07:21] cities, you said a very good thing about carbon version,
[00:07:25] the way the Modi government is aware
[00:07:29] and at the international level also, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
[00:07:32] has been giving the message of environmental protection,
[00:07:36] the Indian government is completely standing
[00:07:40] on it and if we talk about various places,
[00:07:43] today more than 99% of our railways
[00:07:46] have been electrified, metro facilities
[00:07:49] have started being provided in all major cities and along with it,
[00:07:52] EV vehicles are also being promoted in India, so in a way,
[00:07:56] all these beginnings show that in the future, India
[00:08:00] is moving forward towards environmental protection
[00:08:04] and such a beginning of metro not only provides
[00:08:07] convenience to passengers, not just about fare
[00:08:10] but
[00:08:13] also works to give a message and the biggest thing is that
[00:08:16] it used to be dependent on petrol diesel at one time, in a way,
[00:08:20] because we have to spend a lot of our money
[00:08:24] on imports and follow all the rules, but we can see the pictures,
[00:08:27] the Prime Minister himself is traveling in that metro, many professionals
[00:08:31] are seen interacting with him here,
[00:08:35] along with him, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is also present
[00:08:38] and this picture is also seen as
[00:08:42] a pillar to take forward that economic activity,
[00:08:45] when we are constantly talking that with the expansion
[00:08:49] of this public transport, your access to all the
[00:08:52] different public destinations will become easier
[00:08:55] and these advanced efficient
[00:08:59] coaches show that India's Make in India capability
[00:09:02] is how strong in itself?
[00:09:06] See, absolutely, India has surprised
[00:09:09] the world from time to time in Make in India, from Chandrayaan
[00:09:13] to all the engineering techniques in India and in a way,
[00:09:16] if you look at the bridge of elections, India has told the world
[00:09:20] from time to time that we are also developing
[00:09:23] our techniques, our quality, our engineering
[00:09:27] skills and building
[00:09:30] strongly and this double-decker
[00:09:34] structure of Chennai also gives a message to the world
[00:09:38] that how we are working in urban transportation
[00:09:41] and the biggest thing is that without stopping
[00:09:44] people's movement, without stopping traffic on the road,
[00:09:48] such a big structure is being built in India
[00:09:52] in all cities, this shows how
[00:09:55] Indian engineers are progressing and the biggest reason
[00:09:59] is the Indian Bullet Train which is being prepared
[00:10:02] for Ahmedabad to Mumbai, we are seeing such engineering marvels
[00:10:06] there and it can be said that India
[00:10:09] is ready for the future and is ready for the
[00:10:13] goal of Developed India 2047 and for that the most important
[00:10:17] infrastructure is India, you remember
[00:10:19] Nishant that Prime Minister always talks about connecting
[00:10:23] responsible artificial intelligence with technology,
[00:10:26] that technology which is for your betterment, that technology which takes
[00:10:30] the economic activities of your state to a different level and in such a situation
[00:10:34] because we are talking about driverless
[00:10:37] travel here, how that system will be strengthened,
[00:10:40] the role of artificial intelligence
[00:10:47] for the role of AI and the role of AI
[00:10:51] in driverless metro is important in itself
[00:10:54] and the way the Indian government has worked in this direction
[00:10:58] and especially if we talk about the face of Chennai Metro,
[00:11:01] then it can be said in a way that a new
[00:11:05] beginning is in Tamil Nadu
[00:11:09] and the biggest benefit of driverless metro
[00:11:12] will be that according to technology, metro
[00:11:16] will come on time, go on time and in a way, India seems
[00:11:20] to be preparing for the future and it can be clearly
[00:11:24] understood that this metro will not only
[00:11:27] give a new direction to Chennai transport, but will also
[00:11:31] change its condition and the biggest thing is that
[00:11:35] West Chennai is now connected to Central Chennai and if we talk
[00:11:39] about Greater Chennai, then it has got a strong
[00:11:42] base, Nishant, we can also understand that this double-decker
[00:11:46] structure of Poonamallee Porur
[00:11:50] Metro, how it makes it different from other metro
[00:11:54] projects and along with it, because it has high
[00:11:57] reflections of technical expertise, evidence,
[00:12:01] we can also see them here, see, the double-decker project
[00:12:04] itself shows, especially its structure
[00:12:08] of 3.5 kilometers has been built, on which road transport
[00:12:12] and metro are seen on the same pillar,
[00:12:16] so in the future, all the pillars that will be built
[00:12:19] and it will be kept in mind that we can use it in two places,
[00:12:23] currently, if we talk about it, then on one pillar there is either
[00:12:27] metro or flyovers, so in such a situation, if we move
[00:12:30] forward with such a structure, then we will get two
[00:12:34] public transport facilities at a lower cost,
[00:12:37] on one side we will get a flyover for cars to run and on the other side
[00:12:40] we will get metro facility and in future,
[00:12:44] it is possible that we will move beyond double-decker,
[00:12:47] if we talk about international level, then such technology exists in China
[00:12:51] or some other countries are moving forward with such
[00:12:55] technology, in India, this is currently a new
[00:12:58] experiment, which is also seen to be successful,
[00:13:02] the Prime Minister is seen here understanding this new experiment,
[00:13:05] especially how artificial intelligence will be used,
[00:13:08] because we saw that when we talk about financial technology
[00:13:12] i.e. fintech, its evidence was also seen here, you see, you book
[00:13:16] online tickets through QR code, then you said that you also get a discount on it,
[00:13:20] all these things, especially how much
[00:13:23] modern a transport system makes it and
[00:13:26] how this modernization, this elevation
[00:13:30] boosting, because you understand that when your travel
[00:13:34] becomes easy, your access becomes easy to reach
[00:13:38] from one destination to another, your time is saved
[00:13:41] and that time is money, you use that time in other
[00:13:45] activities that are positive, so from that point of view also,
[00:13:49] we can say that this project will prove to be a booster
[00:13:53] dose game changer for the economic activities of Tamil Nadu?
[00:13:57] See, absolutely, there is no doubt about this, as I told
[00:14:00] earlier, the vision of this Phase 2 is a total of 118 metro stations,
[00:14:04] in which today the first phase will gradually progress
[00:14:07] in a phased manner and the most
[00:14:11] important thing is that all new
[00:14:14] modern technologies have been used in it, apart from this, as you said
[00:14:18] that if you book tickets online, then you get a 20% discount,
[00:14:22] that means the passenger can book his ticket before reaching
[00:14:26] the metro station from his home and with that,
[00:14:29] firstly, he will not have to stand in a queue there,
[00:14:33] secondly, his time will be saved and along with that, he is being given a discount,
[00:14:36] so the person will see many benefits and
[00:14:40] the biggest thing is that better connectivity and
[00:14:43] when connectivity is better, the development of the area happens automatically
[00:14:47] and the way the government has worked on highways, worked on airports,
[00:14:50] worked on railways, worked on metros, then in a way, the strong infrastructure
[00:14:54] of activity in India is gradually becoming visible
[00:14:58] to us according to international standards and
[00:15:01] at the international level also, we have come a long way
[00:15:05] in many countries, in such a situation, it can be hoped that Metro Phase 2
[00:15:09] Chennai is at least such a gift for the people of Chennai
[00:15:13] that it will provide
[00:15:16] for students for their schooling and in a way,
[00:15:20] the Chennai area, especially West Chennai,
[00:15:24] will have more employment opportunities, people will start living
[00:15:27] here too and when people get better connectivity,
[00:15:31] they will also get all kinds of jobs and it can be said that not just
[00:15:34] looking at this metro, but if we look at the development
[00:15:38] that will happen through it around it, then it is a big plan
[00:15:41] in itself, clearly and because we are constantly mentioning technical
[00:15:45] expertise, let's also tell the viewers, Nishant,
[00:15:48] how the modern signaling system that we are constantly
[00:15:52] discussing here will make the journey safe and
[00:15:55] also fast, because it will be used here,
[00:15:59] which will make the operational operability of trains
[00:16:02] even smoother, see, absolutely,
[00:16:04] because it will be driverless. This metro
[00:16:08] and in a way it can be said that
[00:16:12] modern equipment has been used in it,
[00:16:15] so at least it can be said that this is the preparation
[00:16:19] for the future and in a way,
[00:16:22] although such metros are being run in Delhi, this is the beginning
[00:16:26] in Chennai and it can be said that in the future,
[00:16:30] we will also see the use of even better
[00:16:33] technology, so from this point of view, we see that there are many
[00:16:36] other projects that are yet to be inaugurated and the way the Prime Minister
[00:16:40] has flagged off this metro train, this train is equipped
[00:16:44] with an advanced signaling system and it has been prepared
[00:16:48] as a double-decker structure, we would also like
[00:16:52] to understand from you, Nishant, especially because all the areas
[00:16:55] you mentioned and due to the traffic jam situation in those areas,
[00:16:59] there was a problem in commuting, but how can we see
[00:17:03] a fundamental change in the entire picture of Central Chennai?
[00:17:06] Now we will be able to see the expansion of metro rail
[00:17:09] today in terms of transport,
[00:17:13] sorry, if we talk about Chennai
[00:17:24] Metro, then West Chennai is the way to connect with Central Chennai
[00:17:28] and the way to Bangalore and if we talk about
[00:17:31] Bangalore, then a large number of people going from Chennai to Bangalore
[00:17:35] are by road transport, in such a situation, those people
[00:17:39] who have to work in Chennai, live in Chennai,
[00:17:43] they have to face many traffic problems here
[00:17:46] till now, now people can use
[00:17:49] the metro, because when there is a traffic jam on the road, people will see
[00:17:53] a great convenience in Chennai, secondly,
[00:17:57] as I said earlier, because it is connected
[00:18:01] to Central Chennai, you are getting the facility to interchange
[00:18:04] at Vadapalani, so whether you have to go to the airport,
[00:18:08] you have to go to the railway station, you have to go to the bus
[00:18:11] stand or hospital, in all ways, West
[00:18:15] Chennai has been connected today and its effect
[00:18:19] will be seen in the coming time that the development in West Chennai
[00:18:23] will be even more, we are talking about
[00:18:26] rippling effects, they say that if you do one development work,
[00:18:30] then its positive effects fall on different sectors,
[00:18:34] here we are talking about transport system, so Nishant, we also understand
[00:18:37] that whenever such a metro train line opens,
[00:18:41] its effect is clearly seen on real estate also,
[00:18:45] the demand for property increases and that is why in the western region
[00:18:49] i.e. West Chennai, similar positive effects
[00:18:52] will be seen in the future,
[00:18:56] see, exactly similar positive effects will be seen,
[00:18:59] Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you saw that when he was traveling
[00:19:03] in the metro, he was trying to understand every single thing
[00:19:07] through the officials, what kind of technology
[00:19:10] has been used, how much this metro will benefit this area,
[00:19:13] after the arrival of this metro, what improvements have been made
[00:19:16] in the necessary technology and how the metro phases
[00:19:20] will be further advanced in the future,
[00:19:24] so it can be said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
[00:19:27] is also very serious about every single thing
[00:19:31] and the effect of the continuous work of the central government
[00:19:34] on infrastructure in South India is that now it can be said
[00:19:38] that very soon we will see such announcements
[00:19:42] even after Metro Phase 2 in South India and
[00:19:46] Prime Minister Narendra Modi has continuously, if we talk
[00:19:50] about Tamil Nadu, then for Tamil language, if we talk about Tamil
[00:19:53] Sangam, then in a way, the work of connecting India is being done,
[00:19:57] whether it is North East or South India,
[00:20:00] the fragmentation that used to exist, the gap that used to exist,
[00:20:04] a strong effort has been made to bridge it and the effect of this effort is
[00:20:07] that through connectivity, through language,
[00:20:11] through civilization, through culture,
[00:20:15] all parts of India
[00:20:18] are being connected to form one India,
[00:20:21] the idea of a great India that Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks about,
[00:20:24] and such a metro, one more thing, Nishant,
[00:20:28] because you see, sometimes due to traffic
[00:20:32] jam situations while driving, the tension that builds
[00:20:35] up in your mind, that tension is also released
[00:20:39] because you have another alternative arrangement, you want to reach
[00:20:43] office, you have opened your own business,
[00:20:46] for that ease-out tension also, this option,
[00:20:50] its expansion, especially for the people of Central Chennai,
[00:20:54] is going to prove to be a very important option, see, absolutely, it is a very
[00:20:57] important option for Central Chennai and it can be said,
[00:21:01] as I said earlier, that people who go to Bangalore,
[00:21:04] a large number of people travel between Chennai and Bangalore,
[00:21:08] the construction of this metro has been done on the same road transport,
[00:21:12] in such a situation, those people who do not have to go to Bangalore,
[00:21:15] those people who have to come to the western part of Chennai,
[00:21:19] they had to face a lot of traffic jam problems till now,
[00:21:23] especially during peak hours, if we talk about 8 to 10 in the morning
[00:21:27] and 5 to 8 in the evening, then a big solution
[00:21:30] to their problem is being provided through this metro, one more thing, Nishant,
[00:21:34] if you want to reach somewhere in Bangalore, which we call the IT city,
[00:21:38] then the time frame shown to you that you will reach
[00:21:41] in half an hour, consider it at least one and a half to two hours,
[00:21:45] so from that point of view, your travel time will definitely be reduced
[00:21:49] and also when you buy a house, you will always see what your connectivity
[00:21:52] is to go to the office, so especially affordable
[00:21:56] housing will also see a different
[00:22:00] rippling effect due to this expansion, positively
[00:22:03] secondarily, see, this expansion
[00:22:07] clearly shows that
[00:22:11] just the arrival of metro is not a big
[00:22:14] achievement, metro has arrived, people who lived in Central Chennai
[00:22:17] will go towards West Chennai, buy houses, property
[00:22:21] rates will increase, shops will open, along with this, a large
[00:22:24] number of people will come to live here,
[00:22:28] they will get different jobs, many types of employment
[00:22:32] are created from one means of connectivity,
[00:22:35] the effect of those employments is that the entire area gets developed
[00:22:38] and if we talk about Metro Phase Two, then it is seen
[00:22:42] to strongly realize the big dream of Greater Chennai
[00:22:46] and the biggest thing is that metro is such a means
[00:22:50] of transportation that a person
[00:22:53] knows that he has to reach somewhere, there are so many metro stations,
[00:22:57] so there is a maximum difference of 10 or 5 minutes
[00:23:00] and the person reaches his destination on time, whether we talk about the capital Delhi
[00:23:04] or Mumbai or now Chennai
[00:23:07] or other major cities of the country where
[00:23:11] traffic jam has become a major
[00:23:15] problem, metro is no less than a panacea
[00:23:18] for people and now in such a situation,
[00:23:22] if we talk about metro in West Chennai, then
[00:23:26] today is a big gift for West Chennai
[00:23:29] and along with that, because we are talking about
[00:23:32] positive effects in the secondary
[00:23:36] sectors also, Nishant, and the Prime Minister always
[00:23:39] says that if you want to identify the economic activity of any country,
[00:23:43] any state, then you should strengthen all its transport
[00:23:46] systems, whether you talk about airways,
[00:23:49] you talk about railways, you talk about roadways,
[00:23:53] because the technical quality that we are mentioning here,
[00:23:56] from an engineering point of view also, this metro will prove
[00:23:59] to be very different in itself,
[00:24:02] that is why economic activities will definitely be strengthened,
[00:24:06] but apart from that, positive effects will also be seen
[00:24:10] on different sectors, see, if we talk about
[00:24:14] NDA, then when NDA, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister
[00:24:17] of India, he emphasized on highway construction
[00:24:21] in India, along with that, he started the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana,
[00:24:25] in which work was done to connect villages to highways,
[00:24:28] then if we talk about NDA 2, that is, the era
[00:24:32] of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, then he not only worked on road transport,
[00:24:36] but he also worked on airports, he worked on railway stations,
[00:24:39] under the Udan Yojana in airports, work was done to make planes
[00:24:43] reach smaller cities and after that,
[00:24:46] if we talk about metro infrastructure, then this was also done
[00:24:50] on a large scale and it was made to reach from smaller cities
[00:24:54] to major cities and where there were already metro
[00:24:57] lines, work was done to expand their metro lines,
[00:25:01] so it can be said that the government understands how important connectivity
[00:25:05] is, strong transport is the foundation of a strong country
[00:25:08] and this foundation should be strengthened so that the dream
[00:25:12] of Developed India 2047 that we are seeing can be fulfilled
[00:25:15] as soon as possible and the role of metro
[00:25:20] in it is very important, that is, for emerging as a new economic development
[00:25:24] center, this expansion of the metro rail project will play a significant
[00:25:28] role, along with that, Nishant, along with investment
[00:25:32] in commercial sectors, business activities will also be better,
[00:25:36] but at the same time, access to IT companies
[00:25:40] and business centers will become very easy
[00:25:43] and convenient, see, absolutely,
[00:25:47] the IT companies in Chennai will now
[00:25:51] have better convenience in their lives if people
[00:25:54] who have come from outside want to go to Chennai Central
[00:25:58] and all the areas of Chennai, and these 11 stations,
[00:26:02] 15 kilometers, if I talk about the evening,
[00:26:05] then I myself,
[00:26:09] if I share my experience with you yesterday,
[00:26:13] it took me about 50 minutes to go
[00:26:16] from Porur Bypass Metro Station to Central Chennai,
[00:26:20] the distance was not much, it was about 18 to 19 km,
[00:26:23] but now when the metro is built, people will cover the distance
[00:26:27] in half an hour because traffic jam is not a new problem in Chennai
[00:26:31] during peak hours, yesterday was a Saturday weekend,
[00:26:35] it took 50 minutes, you can imagine how terrible this situation would be on weekdays,
[00:26:39] in such a situation, people are getting a great relief from the problem
[00:26:43] of traffic jam through this metro, Nishant, because whenever
[00:26:47] we talk about the expansion of any scheme, then somewhere
[00:26:50] how much employment will be benefited is also connected,
[00:26:53] because we are talking about interconnectivity here,
[00:26:57] directly and indirectly. How many employment opportunities does
[00:27:01] this project seem to create? Yes, look, indeed
[00:27:05] employment, as I told you earlier, directly, the people associated with
[00:27:08] the metro, the cleaning staff at the
[00:27:12] metro station, all of them are
[00:27:15] outsourced, if we talk about them,
[00:27:18] the people at the ticket vending machine, if we talk
[00:27:22] about them, then in such a situation, several thousand direct
[00:27:26] jobs are clearly visible, but indirectly, when metro
[00:27:29] stations are built, people in those areas of the city, especially
[00:27:33] where this metro station is, it comes in the outer areas of the city,
[00:27:36] so people take their homes here, a large number of
[00:27:39] people will settle here, so there is a big employment in
[00:27:43] property, besides this, when any person buys a house, they need
[00:27:47] everything from groceries, if we talk about
[00:27:50] shops, they open up and the whole area develops,
[00:27:54] so indirect employment comes forward in large numbers,
[00:27:58] which gives a big benefit to people, and it can
[00:28:01] be said that in this way,
[00:28:05] a large number of people,
[00:28:07] common people, get the benefit of this
[00:28:11] kind of connectivity, and we have also seen, Nishant,
[00:28:15] because when you develop urban areas,
[00:28:17] when you prepare its blueprint, it
[00:28:21] has its own challenges, how decisions are taken
[00:28:26] at a general level, and bringing those decisions
[00:28:30] to the ground within the given timeframe, the
[00:28:34] determined time, is a big challenge,
[00:28:37] meaning that the implementation of those schemes should be done
[00:28:41] within the given timeframe, and that is why
[00:28:45] the government, in the way it
[00:28:48] takes decisions with commitment, the political will is
[00:28:51] so strong, we can also see its example
[00:28:54] in the expansion of this metro project,
[00:28:58] look, it's a big deal
[00:29:00] that before building any such metro
[00:29:04] project, the challenge that comes, especially during
[00:29:07] the construction of infrastructure, as I said earlier,
[00:29:11] great care was taken that the city's traffic
[00:29:15] system should not be affected in any way, due
[00:29:18] to which, the most important large structures were built
[00:29:22] first, and when the opportunity arose, they were brought
[00:29:26] to their position so that people do not face any
[00:29:30] kind of problem in commuting, the second important thing,
[00:29:34] if we say, is to build such a structure
[00:29:38] and all the preparations to relieve people from
[00:29:41] traffic jams were made, and in a way, keeping
[00:29:45] those preparations in mind, the construction work of the
[00:29:48] 10 km, about 15 km metro station line was
[00:29:52] done, and people will get rid of traffic jams,
[00:29:56] and a lot of development can also be clearly
[00:30:00] seen in this area, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi
[00:30:03] has, in this entire line, if I give an update
[00:30:07] now, inspected it, and the Prime Minister has also
[00:30:11] spoken to the officials, and all the people
[00:30:14] welcomed the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is
[00:30:18] seen leaving the metro station, and people are
[00:30:22] also accepting his greetings, and it can be said
[00:30:26] that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a truly big
[00:30:29] gift to Chennai in the field of transport today,
[00:30:33] and the way this metro rail project has
[00:30:37] been expanded and its successful implementation will somewhere
[00:30:39] be an example for other states as well,
[00:30:43] as to how they can make their urban transport
[00:30:46] system high-quality and technologically equipped,
[00:30:50] look, it's definitely a big deal, especially
[00:30:54] in those states where the population density is high,
[00:30:57] where the problem of traffic
