The Delhi Metro on Sunday (Dec 24) completed 21 years of its operations. It currently has a network of 393 kilometres and 288 stations. In a statement, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said, "More than six million passenger journeys are being performed every single day on the Delhi Metro making it one of the largest mass transit systems in the entire world. In fact, the Delhi Metro is also one of the fastest-expanding Metro networks anywhere in the world." The Delhi Metro was inaugurated on Dec 24, 2002, with the then Indian prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee flagging off the first stretch of the network from Shahdara to Tis Hazari on the Red Line. "In the last 21 years, more than 380 kilometres of additional lines have been laid in the NCR, which is a staggering feat and probably, the biggest infrastructure marvel created in the country. In addition, presently another 65 kilometres of new lines are being laid across the national capital, which will take the network length beyond 400 kilometres in the days to come," the DMRC said. A look at the achievements in 2023 The DMRC mentioned a list of achievements of the Delhi Metro this year. On Sept 4, the network recorded over 7.1 million passenger journeys in a single day, which is the highest ever for the mass transit system. Thirteen days later (on Sept 17), the network started to operate the Airport Express Line at a speed of 120 kilometres per hour (kmph) compared to the earlier 90 kmph. "This historic increase in speed of India’s fastest Metro corridor gradually from 90 KMPH to 120 KMPH was made possible by meticulous planning and time-bound implementation by DMRC’s engineers in consultation with a number of other government agencies and domain experts," the statement said. Also on Sept 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Dwarka Sector 21 – Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 extension of the Airport Express Line as well, which now provides the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre with Metro connectivity. On Nov 1, the Delhi Metro launched Momentum 2.0 - an innovative platform set to redefine the daily commuting experience for millions in the National Capital Region (NCR). "The app provides instant and direct access to services such as Integrated QR Ticketing (mainline and airport line), a wide array of e-shopping choices, digital lockers for quick and safe deliveries, Smart Utility Payments and last-mile connectivity options," the statement further said.

A probe has been ordered into a major security breach during Prime Minister Modi&#39;s recent visit to Noida to inaugurate the Magenta line of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). &nbsp;

Two police officers have been pulled up for the incident.&nbsp;

Modi&#39;s convoy lost its way on the Noida-Greater Noida expressway while going to the helipad at Botanical Garden from Amity University.

The report quoting Gautam Budh Nagar Superintendent of Police Love Kumar said that the convoy left Amity University at 2.35 pm and used the service road at the expressway to proceed towards Botanical Garden.

One of the security vehicles, which was leading the convoy, took a turn before the designated one to proceed on the expressway. There was no security arrangement in that patch considering the Prime Minister was travelling.

The convoy had to be later stopped for at least two minutes following the wrong turn.

According to Kumar, departmental proceedings have been initiated against police personnel responsible for the lapse.

PM Modi on Monday flagged off the much-awaited Delhi Metro&#39;s Magenta line connecting Noida to South Delhi.&nbsp;

The Prime Minister boarded the metro train at the Botanical station and deboarded at Okhla Bird Sanctuary metro station.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also accompanied the Prime Minister during the maiden trip of the Magenta line, defying a 29-year-old &#39;Noida&#39; superstition of no serving UP chief minister visiting Noida.

BJP member Mahendra Nath Pandey and state Governor Ram Naik too attended the inauguration ceremony.

Following this, the Prime Minister went to Amity University where he addressed a public gathering.
