As part of the ongoing ‘AzadiKaAmritMahotsav-celebrating 75 years of India’s Independence’ (AKAM), a specially decorated Metro train was launched in the presence of Dr Mangu Singh, Managing Director of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and other senior officials at Yamuna Bank Metro Station on the Blue Line on Tuesday.
A senior DMRC official said that the exterior of this eight-coach special train has been exclusively wrapped and decorated with a collage of photographs and slogans depicting the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements in the last 75 years signifying the spirit of ‘Aatmnirbhar Bharat’.
“The train has been symbolically launched on the occasion of Republic Day Celebrations to spread the idea of nationalism and unity amongst the general public. This special train will continue to remain in service throughout the commemorative period of ‘AzadiKaAmritMahotsav,” he said.
In July 2021, DMRC kick started its AKAM commemorative activities from the Lal Qila Metro station on the Violet Line in the form of an Exhibition to bring out the significance of the historic venue from where the Prime Minister addresses the nation on every Independence Day i.e.August 15.
