context_page_description: Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System is an 82.15 km long, under-construction, semi-high speed rail corridor connecting Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut. It is one of the three rapid-rail corridors planned under Phase-I of Regional Rapid Transport System project of National Capital Region Transport Corporation. With maximum speed of 160 km/h, the distance between Delhi and Meerut will be covered in around 62 min. The project will cost ₹30,274 crore and is expected to start operations by 2025.
  Following the Galwan Valley skirmish on 15 June 2020, there were calls by Swadeshi Jagran Manch to the government to cancel the bid of a Chinese company related to the transit system.
