The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has been awarded with the “National Project Excellence Award” for completing and operationalisation of the complete first phase project of the CMRL, Rail News Analysis reports.
The first phase of the Chennai Metro was completed in extremely challenging conditions with marvellous engineering practices and always kept public safety as a priority, a release from CMRL said.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
