Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the first phase of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, which promises to cut down travel time between the two cities to 40 minutes from the current near two-and-a-half hours.

The PM, along with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, travelled in an open jeep on the 14-lane Delhi-Meerut Expressway, which is being built at a cost of over Rs 7,500 crore.

PM Narendra Modi has described the "road to freedom from pollution".

The PM will then fly in a chopper to Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh, where he will open the Rs 11,000-crore Eastern Peripheral Expressway, which is India's first smart and green highway.
