“But later as soon as we returned to power, the work started again with a pace. Today, I unveiled the coach of Bhopal Metro. The trail run will start in both the cities in September. The metro will start running from April next year. We will not limit the metro to Bhopal only, it will be expanded till Sehore and Mandideep.
