UN military officers take Delhi metro tour

Military officers from 32 United Nations troop-contributing countries, visiting the Capital for a UN conclave, took a ride on the Delhi Metro’s Violet Line from Central Secretariat to Lal Quila on Wednesday. The initiative aimed to showcase one of India’s most successful examples of urban transport infrastructure and public service efficiency.

Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi accompanied the delegates during the journey. The delegation included senior military officials from Australia, Italy, France, Brazil and other countries, along with representatives from the United Nations.

The officers received a briefing on the operations and functioning of the Delhi Metro from DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar, who welcomed the visitors and shared details on the network’s planning and expansion.

During the visit, Kumar presented a souvenir to General Dwivedi, who in turn gifted a memento to the DMRC chief.
