SHOCKING: A joy metro ride amid patriotic fervour | Mind Blowing Facts

Teenaged special youngster Akshara brought the super busy Ameerpet metro interchange to near grinding halt with passengers transfixed to her spell binding self-choreographed classical dance. This was followed by an equally alluring song and dance show by school children to ‘Jai Ho’ and ‘Mera Desh Rangeela’ songs.

For almost an hour or so, the giant overhead station linking Red Line (LB Nagar to Miyapur) and Blue Line (Nagole-Raidurg) on two decks and a special metro train service towards Miyapur reverberated with patriotic slogans and singing of the national anthem during the joyride organised for 60 children of the Twinkle Star School and specially abled children of Swayamkrushi orphanage on Tuesday morning.

In fact, all the 55 metro trains running on the three corridors including Green Line – JBS to MGBS were stopped for 52 seconds at 11.30 a.m. for mass rendition of the national anthem inside metro trains and at stations.
