00:00:00people will benefit greatly, jams is high, where the look, let me tell you that the initial biggest thing is the lack of space.
00:00:04plan is to run 15 metro trains, a metro will arrive every 10 minutes
00:00:08at intervals,
00:00:11are working to promote technology apart from this, the capacity of each metro is said to be 900 passengers and the speed is 80
00:00:15kilometers, so in a way, the students, the
00:00:19working people will get a speed and along with speed,
00:00:22for people traveling by metro they will get an option and I also told you earlier
00:00:25that there are two levels on one pillar,
00:00:28there is road transport and there is metro also on one pillar,
00:00:32it is a new kind of beginning in itself and apart from this,
00:00:35total
00:00:38it has been built with modernity, 11 stations have been opened and total there are 17 metro stations
00:00:41out of which 11 are double-decker part, six stations today
00:00:45are currently not included in the stoppage but in future those
00:00:48stations will also be included in the stoppage, which will benefit the people there,
00:00:52as you said the Interchanged
00:00:55station made at Vadapalani will help the passengers of West Chennai
00:00:59to go to the city, whether it is Central Chennai, whether it is railway, whether it is
00:01:03airport, they will get full help to go there and in a way,
00:01:06if we talk about the entire vision of Phase Two,
00:01:10then 118 km new line is included
00:01:13in it and 128 stations are included
00:01:16and its inauguration has been done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
00:01:20when this whole will be completed,
00:01:23then you can understand how strong connectivity will be seen in Chennai
00:01:27and the year 2047
00:02:00to deal with it, the public transport has to be increased,
00:02:03its expansion, in which context the second phase of this metro
00:02:07rail project has been expanded, so the
00:02:11goal of last mile connectivity also seems to be reflected
00:03:05accelerates it for economic
00:03:30and its effect will be clearly visible in Chennai in the coming time and through the pictures
00:03:34you can see that the Prime Minister himself took that ticket through the QR code
00:03:37and as Nishant Rai was also mentioning all these arrangements
00:03:41that with the use of QR code, now ticket
00:03:44vending will be easier and here
00:03:48how the Porur Bypass Metro has been made equipped with all these
00:03:52facilities and this memento has also been gifted
00:03:56to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister is seen here flagging off
00:04:00the Chief Minister is also present here, this visit of the Prime Minister to Tamil Nadu is especially
00:04:03considered a big step to make connectivity
00:04:07and people's lives easier and convenient,
00:04:10the journey from Bypass Station to Poonamallee Bypass Station
00:04:13and you see that metro is somewhere like a lifeline
00:04:18the future India for people, especially for those people who have to use
00:04:21it for their daily transport system, which Nishant
00:04:25was also mentioning, so Nishant, it can be clearly assumed that
00:04:28this is a big day for the people of Tamil Nadu in the context of the urban transport
00:04:32system's improvement, its high quality,
00:04:35its advanced access, see, as
00:04:39you said that Prime Minister
00:04:49that if you book tickets online,
00:04:51employment to them, all major facilities if you go through online QR code, then Chennai Metro
00:04:54will give you a 20% discount. Apart from this,
00:04:58its maximum fare is ₹50, that means
00:05:02the common people's fare has been kept in mind
00:05:06so that they do not face any problem
00:05:08you have to reach there, and they can easily go from
00:05:11one place to another and all these things have been taken
00:05:15care of and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
00:05:18scanning of the QR code shows how people
00:05:24and moving forward in that direction
00:05:27and in a way, it can be said that the 20% discount being given
00:05:31is a big discount in itself
00:05:39and also the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu
00:06:42See, absolutely, and the challenge of construction, see, in any
00:06:46city, laying metro tracks is not easy,
00:06:50the biggest thing is the availability of land, road traffic should
00:06:53not be affected, construction materials and heavy structures
00:06:56that have to be erected there, so that there is minimum pollution
00:07:00and along with it, the double-decker has started, so this is a big engineering
00:07:04challenge, which can be seen in Phase 2 of Chennai Metro,
00:07:07it has been done very easily and very strongly
00:07:11and to meet the needs of urban transport
00:07:15in a way, multi-level structures
00:07:18in the future we will see in other Indian
00:07:21cities, you said a very good thing about carbon version,
00:07:25the way the Modi government is aware
00:07:29and at the international level also, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:07:32has been giving the message of environmental protection,
00:07:36the Indian government is completely standing
00:07:40on it and if we talk about various places,
00:07:43today more than 99% of our railways
00:07:46have been electrified, metro facilities
00:07:49have started being provided in all major cities and along with it,
00:07:52EV vehicles are also being promoted in India, so in a way,
00:07:56all these beginnings show that in the future, India
00:08:00is moving forward towards environmental protection
00:08:04and such a beginning of metro not only provides
00:08:07convenience to passengers, not just about fare
00:08:10but
00:08:13also works to give a message and the biggest thing is that
00:08:16it used to be dependent on petrol diesel at one time, in a way,
00:08:20because we have to spend a lot of our money
00:08:24on imports and follow all the rules, but we can see the pictures,
00:08:27the Prime Minister himself is traveling in that metro, many professionals
00:08:31are seen interacting with him here,
00:08:35along with him, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is also present
00:08:38and this picture is also seen as
00:08:42a pillar to take forward that economic activity,
00:08:45when we are constantly talking that with the expansion
00:08:49of this public transport, your access to all the
00:08:52different public destinations will become easier
00:08:55and these advanced efficient
00:08:59coaches show that India's Make in India capability
00:09:02is how strong in itself?
00:09:06See, absolutely, India has surprised
00:09:09the world from time to time in Make in India, from Chandrayaan
00:09:13to all the engineering techniques in India and in a way,
00:09:16if you look at the bridge of elections, India has told the world
00:09:20from time to time that we are also developing
00:09:23our techniques, our quality, our engineering
00:09:27skills and building
00:09:30strongly and this double-decker
00:09:34structure of Chennai also gives a message to the world
00:09:38that how we are working in urban transportation
00:09:41and the biggest thing is that without stopping
00:09:44people's movement, without stopping traffic on the road,
00:09:48such a big structure is being built in India
00:09:52in all cities, this shows how
00:09:55Indian engineers are progressing and the biggest reason
00:09:59is the Indian Bullet Train which is being prepared
00:10:02for Ahmedabad to Mumbai, we are seeing such engineering marvels
00:10:06there and it can be said that India
00:10:09is ready for the future and is ready for the
00:10:13goal of Developed India 2047 and for that the most important
00:10:17infrastructure is India, you remember
00:10:19Nishant that Prime Minister always talks about connecting
00:10:23responsible artificial intelligence with technology,
00:10:26that technology which is for your betterment, that technology which takes
00:10:30the economic activities of your state to a different level and in such a situation
00:10:34because we are talking about driverless
00:10:37travel here, how that system will be strengthened,
00:10:40the role of artificial intelligence
00:10:47for the role of AI and the role of AI
00:10:51in driverless metro is important in itself
00:10:54and the way the Indian government has worked in this direction
00:10:58and especially if we talk about the face of Chennai Metro,
00:11:01then it can be said in a way that a new
00:11:05beginning is in Tamil Nadu
00:11:09and the biggest benefit of driverless metro
00:11:12will be that according to technology, metro
00:11:16will come on time, go on time and in a way, India seems
00:11:20to be preparing for the future and it can be clearly
00:11:24understood that this metro will not only
00:11:27give a new direction to Chennai transport, but will also
00:11:31change its condition and the biggest thing is that
00:11:35West Chennai is now connected to Central Chennai and if we talk
00:11:39about Greater Chennai, then it has got a strong
00:11:42base, Nishant, we can also understand that this double-decker
00:11:46structure of Poonamallee Porur
00:11:50Metro, how it makes it different from other metro
00:11:54projects and along with it, because it has high
00:11:57reflections of technical expertise, evidence,
00:12:01we can also see them here, see, the double-decker project
00:12:04itself shows, especially its structure
00:12:08of 3.5 kilometers has been built, on which road transport
00:12:12and metro are seen on the same pillar,
00:12:16so in the future, all the pillars that will be built
00:12:19and it will be kept in mind that we can use it in two places,
00:12:23currently, if we talk about it, then on one pillar there is either
00:12:27metro or flyovers, so in such a situation, if we move
00:12:30forward with such a structure, then we will get two
00:12:34public transport facilities at a lower cost,
00:12:37on one side we will get a flyover for cars to run and on the other side
00:12:40we will get metro facility and in future,
00:12:44it is possible that we will move beyond double-decker,
00:12:47if we talk about international level, then such technology exists in China
00:12:51or some other countries are moving forward with such
00:12:55technology, in India, this is currently a new
00:12:58experiment, which is also seen to be successful,
00:13:02the Prime Minister is seen here understanding this new experiment,
00:13:05especially how artificial intelligence will be used,
00:13:08because we saw that when we talk about financial technology
00:13:12i.e. fintech, its evidence was also seen here, you see, you book
00:13:16online tickets through QR code, then you said that you also get a discount on it,
00:13:20all these things, especially how much
00:13:23modern a transport system makes it and
00:13:26how this modernization, this elevation
00:13:30boosting, because you understand that when your travel
00:13:34becomes easy, your access becomes easy to reach
00:13:38from one destination to another, your time is saved
00:13:41and that time is money, you use that time in other
00:13:45activities that are positive, so from that point of view also,
00:13:49we can say that this project will prove to be a booster
00:13:53dose game changer for the economic activities of Tamil Nadu?
00:13:57See, absolutely, there is no doubt about this, as I told
00:14:00earlier, the vision of this Phase 2 is a total of 118 metro stations,
00:14:04in which today the first phase will gradually progress
00:14:07in a phased manner and the most
00:14:11important thing is that all new
00:14:14modern technologies have been used in it, apart from this, as you said
00:14:18that if you book tickets online, then you get a 20% discount,
00:14:22that means the passenger can book his ticket before reaching
00:14:26the metro station from his home and with that,
00:14:29firstly, he will not have to stand in a queue there,
00:14:33secondly, his time will be saved and along with that, he is being given a discount,
00:14:36so the person will see many benefits and
00:14:40the biggest thing is that better connectivity and
00:14:43when connectivity is better, the development of the area happens automatically
00:14:47and the way the government has worked on highways, worked on airports,
00:14:50worked on railways, worked on metros, then in a way, the strong infrastructure
00:14:54of activity in India is gradually becoming visible
00:14:58to us according to international standards and
00:15:01at the international level also, we have come a long way
00:15:05in many countries, in such a situation, it can be hoped that Metro Phase 2
00:15:09Chennai is at least such a gift for the people of Chennai
00:15:13that it will provide
00:15:16for students for their schooling and in a way,
00:15:20the Chennai area, especially West Chennai,
00:15:24will have more employment opportunities, people will start living
00:15:27here too and when people get better connectivity,
00:15:31they will also get all kinds of jobs and it can be said that not just
00:15:34looking at this metro, but if we look at the development
00:15:38that will happen through it around it, then it is a big plan
00:15:41in itself, clearly and because we are constantly mentioning technical
00:15:45expertise, let's also tell the viewers, Nishant,
00:15:48how the modern signaling system that we are constantly
00:15:52discussing here will make the journey safe and
00:15:55also fast, because it will be used here,
00:15:59which will make the operational operability of trains
00:16:02even smoother, see, absolutely,
00:16:04because it will be driverless. This metro
00:16:08and in a way it can be said that
00:16:12modern equipment has been used in it,
00:16:15so at least it can be said that this is the preparation
00:16:19for the future and in a way,
00:16:22although such metros are being run in Delhi, this is the beginning
00:16:26in Chennai and it can be said that in the future,
00:16:30we will also see the use of even better
00:16:33technology, so from this point of view, we see that there are many
00:16:36other projects that are yet to be inaugurated and the way the Prime Minister
00:16:40has flagged off this metro train, this train is equipped
00:16:44with an advanced signaling system and it has been prepared
00:16:48as a double-decker structure, we would also like
00:16:52to understand from you, Nishant, especially because all the areas
00:16:55you mentioned and due to the traffic jam situation in those areas,
00:16:59there was a problem in commuting, but how can we see
00:17:03a fundamental change in the entire picture of Central Chennai?
00:17:06Now we will be able to see the expansion of metro rail
00:17:09today in terms of transport,
00:17:13sorry, if we talk about Chennai
00:17:24Metro, then West Chennai is the way to connect with Central Chennai
00:17:28and the way to Bangalore and if we talk about
00:17:31Bangalore, then a large number of people going from Chennai to Bangalore
00:17:35are by road transport, in such a situation, those people
00:17:39who have to work in Chennai, live in Chennai,
00:17:43they have to face many traffic problems here
00:17:46till now, now people can use
00:17:49the metro, because when there is a traffic jam on the road, people will see
00:17:53a great convenience in Chennai, secondly,
00:17:57as I said earlier, because it is connected
00:18:01to Central Chennai, you are getting the facility to interchange
00:18:04at Vadapalani, so whether you have to go to the airport,
00:18:08you have to go to the railway station, you have to go to the bus
00:18:11stand or hospital, in all ways, West
00:18:15Chennai has been connected today and its effect
00:18:19will be seen in the coming time that the development in West Chennai
00:18:23will be even more, we are talking about
00:18:26rippling effects, they say that if you do one development work,
00:18:30then its positive effects fall on different sectors,
00:18:34here we are talking about transport system, so Nishant, we also understand
00:18:37that whenever such a metro train line opens,
00:18:41its effect is clearly seen on real estate also,
00:18:45the demand for property increases and that is why in the western region
00:18:49i.e. West Chennai, similar positive effects
00:18:52will be seen in the future,
00:18:56see, exactly similar positive effects will be seen,
00:18:59Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you saw that when he was traveling
00:19:03in the metro, he was trying to understand every single thing
00:19:07through the officials, what kind of technology
00:19:10has been used, how much this metro will benefit this area,
00:19:13after the arrival of this metro, what improvements have been made
00:19:16in the necessary technology and how the metro phases
00:19:20will be further advanced in the future,
00:19:24so it can be said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:19:27is also very serious about every single thing
00:19:31and the effect of the continuous work of the central government
00:19:34on infrastructure in South India is that now it can be said
00:19:38that very soon we will see such announcements
00:19:42even after Metro Phase 2 in South India and
00:19:46Prime Minister Narendra Modi has continuously, if we talk
00:19:50about Tamil Nadu, then for Tamil language, if we talk about Tamil
00:19:53Sangam, then in a way, the work of connecting India is being done,
00:19:57whether it is North East or South India,
00:20:00the fragmentation that used to exist, the gap that used to exist,
00:20:04a strong effort has been made to bridge it and the effect of this effort is
00:20:07that through connectivity, through language,
00:20:11through civilization, through culture,
00:20:15all parts of India
00:20:18are being connected to form one India,
00:20:21the idea of a great India that Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks about,
00:20:24and such a metro, one more thing, Nishant,
00:20:28because you see, sometimes due to traffic
00:20:32jam situations while driving, the tension that builds
00:20:35up in your mind, that tension is also released
00:20:39because you have another alternative arrangement, you want to reach
00:20:43office, you have opened your own business,
00:20:46for that ease-out tension also, this option,
00:20:50its expansion, especially for the people of Central Chennai,
00:20:54is going to prove to be a very important option, see, absolutely, it is a very
00:20:57important option for Central Chennai and it can be said,
00:21:01as I said earlier, that people who go to Bangalore,
00:21:04a large number of people travel between Chennai and Bangalore,
00:21:08the construction of this metro has been done on the same road transport,
00:21:12in such a situation, those people who do not have to go to Bangalore,
00:21:15those people who have to come to the western part of Chennai,
00:21:19they had to face a lot of traffic jam problems till now,
00:21:23especially during peak hours, if we talk about 8 to 10 in the morning
00:21:27and 5 to 8 in the evening, then a big solution
00:21:30to their problem is being provided through this metro, one more thing, Nishant,
00:21:34if you want to reach somewhere in Bangalore, which we call the IT city,
00:21:38then the time frame shown to you that you will reach
00:21:41in half an hour, consider it at least one and a half to two hours,
00:21:45so from that point of view, your travel time will definitely be reduced
00:21:49and also when you buy a house, you will always see what your connectivity
00:21:52is to go to the office, so especially affordable
00:21:56housing will also see a different
00:22:00rippling effect due to this expansion, positively
00:22:03secondarily, see, this expansion
00:22:07clearly shows that
00:22:11just the arrival of metro is not a big
00:22:14achievement, metro has arrived, people who lived in Central Chennai
00:22:17will go towards West Chennai, buy houses, property
00:22:21rates will increase, shops will open, along with this, a large
00:22:24number of people will come to live here,
00:22:28they will get different jobs, many types of employment
00:22:32are created from one means of connectivity,
00:22:35the effect of those employments is that the entire area gets developed
00:22:38and if we talk about Metro Phase Two, then it is seen
00:22:42to strongly realize the big dream of Greater Chennai
00:22:46and the biggest thing is that metro is such a means
00:22:50of transportation that a person
00:22:53knows that he has to reach somewhere, there are so many metro stations,
00:22:57so there is a maximum difference of 10 or 5 minutes
00:23:00and the person reaches his destination on time, whether we talk about the capital Delhi
00:23:04or Mumbai or now Chennai
00:23:07or other major cities of the country where
00:23:11traffic jam has become a major
00:23:15problem, metro is no less than a panacea
00:23:18for people and now in such a situation,
00:23:22if we talk about metro in West Chennai, then
00:23:26today is a big gift for West Chennai
00:23:29and along with that, because we are talking about
00:23:32positive effects in the secondary
00:23:36sectors also, Nishant, and the Prime Minister always
00:23:39says that if you want to identify the economic activity of any country,
00:23:43any state, then you should strengthen all its transport
00:23:46systems, whether you talk about airways,
00:23:49you talk about railways, you talk about roadways,
00:23:53because the technical quality that we are mentioning here,
00:23:56from an engineering point of view also, this metro will prove
00:23:59to be very different in itself,
00:24:02that is why economic activities will definitely be strengthened,
00:24:06but apart from that, positive effects will also be seen
00:24:10on different sectors, see, if we talk about
00:24:14NDA, then when NDA, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister
00:24:17of India, he emphasized on highway construction
00:24:21in India, along with that, he started the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana,
00:24:25in which work was done to connect villages to highways,
00:24:28then if we talk about NDA 2, that is, the era
00:24:32of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, then he not only worked on road transport,
00:24:36but he also worked on airports, he worked on railway stations,
00:24:39under the Udan Yojana in airports, work was done to make planes
00:24:43reach smaller cities and after that,
00:24:46if we talk about metro infrastructure, then this was also done
00:24:50on a large scale and it was made to reach from smaller cities
00:24:54to major cities and where there were already metro
00:24:57lines, work was done to expand their metro lines,
00:25:01so it can be said that the government understands how important connectivity
00:25:05is, strong transport is the foundation of a strong country
00:25:08and this foundation should be strengthened so that the dream
00:25:12of Developed India 2047 that we are seeing can be fulfilled
00:25:15as soon as possible and the role of metro
00:25:20in it is very important, that is, for emerging as a new economic development
00:25:24center, this expansion of the metro rail project will play a significant
00:25:28role, along with that, Nishant, along with investment
00:25:32in commercial sectors, business activities will also be better,
00:25:36but at the same time, access to IT companies
00:25:40and business centers will become very easy
00:25:43and convenient, see, absolutely,
00:25:47the IT companies in Chennai will now
00:25:51have better convenience in their lives if people
00:25:54who have come from outside want to go to Chennai Central
00:25:58and all the areas of Chennai, and these 11 stations,
00:26:0215 kilometers, if I talk about the evening,
00:26:05then I myself,
00:26:09if I share my experience with you yesterday,
00:26:13it took me about 50 minutes to go
00:26:16from Porur Bypass Metro Station to Central Chennai,
00:26:20the distance was not much, it was about 18 to 19 km,
00:26:23but now when the metro is built, people will cover the distance
00:26:27in half an hour because traffic jam is not a new problem in Chennai
00:26:31during peak hours, yesterday was a Saturday weekend,
00:26:35it took 50 minutes, you can imagine how terrible this situation would be on weekdays,
00:26:39in such a situation, people are getting a great relief from the problem
00:26:43of traffic jam through this metro, Nishant, because whenever
00:26:47we talk about the expansion of any scheme, then somewhere
00:26:50how much employment will be benefited is also connected,
00:26:53because we are talking about interconnectivity here,
00:26:57directly and indirectly. How many employment opportunities does
00:27:01this project seem to create? Yes, look, indeed
00:27:05employment, as I told you earlier, directly, the people associated with
00:27:08the metro, the cleaning staff at the
00:27:12metro station, all of them are
00:27:15outsourced, if we talk about them,
00:27:18the people at the ticket vending machine, if we talk
00:27:22about them, then in such a situation, several thousand direct
00:27:26jobs are clearly visible, but indirectly, when metro
00:27:29stations are built, people in those areas of the city, especially
00:27:33where this metro station is, it comes in the outer areas of the city,
00:27:36so people take their homes here, a large number of
00:27:39people will settle here, so there is a big employment in
00:27:43property, besides this, when any person buys a house, they need
00:27:47everything from groceries, if we talk about
00:27:50shops, they open up and the whole area develops,
00:27:54so indirect employment comes forward in large numbers,
00:27:58which gives a big benefit to people, and it can
00:28:01be said that in this way,
00:28:05a large number of people,
00:28:07common people, get the benefit of this
00:28:11kind of connectivity, and we have also seen, Nishant,
00:28:15because when you develop urban areas,
00:28:17when you prepare its blueprint, it
00:28:21has its own challenges, how decisions are taken
00:28:26at a general level, and bringing those decisions
00:28:30to the ground within the given timeframe, the
00:28:34determined time, is a big challenge,
00:28:37meaning that the implementation of those schemes should be done
00:28:41within the given timeframe, and that is why
00:28:45the government, in the way it
00:28:48takes decisions with commitment, the political will is
00:28:51so strong, we can also see its example
00:28:54in the expansion of this metro project,
00:28:58look, it's a big deal
00:29:00that before building any such metro
00:29:04project, the challenge that comes, especially during
00:29:07the construction of infrastructure, as I said earlier,
00:29:11great care was taken that the city's traffic
00:29:15system should not be affected in any way, due
00:29:18to which, the most important large structures were built
00:29:22first, and when the opportunity arose, they were brought
00:29:26to their position so that people do not face any
00:29:30kind of problem in commuting, the second important thing,
00:29:34if we say, is to build such a structure
00:29:38and all the preparations to relieve people from
00:29:41traffic jams were made, and in a way, keeping
00:29:45those preparations in mind, the construction work of the
00:29:4810 km, about 15 km metro station line was
00:29:52done, and people will get rid of traffic jams,
00:29:56and a lot of development can also be clearly
00:30:00seen in this area, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:30:03has, in this entire line, if I give an update
00:30:07now, inspected it, and the Prime Minister has also
00:30:11spoken to the officials, and all the people
00:30:14welcomed the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is
00:30:18seen leaving the metro station, and people are
00:30:22also accepting his greetings, and it can be said
00:30:26that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a truly big
00:30:29gift to Chennai in the field of transport today,
00:30:33and the way this metro rail project has
00:30:37been expanded and its successful implementation will somewhere
00:30:39be an example for other states as well,
00:30:43as to how they can make their urban transport
00:30:46system high-quality and technologically equipped,
00:30:50look, it's definitely a big deal, especially
00:30:54in those states where the population density is high,
00:30:57where the problem of traffic
