Gurugram, Jan 21 (IANS) Union Minister Rao Inderjeet Singh said that the construction work of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) from Delhi to Shahjahanpur will start soon.

Rao said that the Union Urban Development Minister told him that the project would cost around Rs 22,000 crore but the project would start soon.
He said that this project will prove to be a milestone for the region in the field of public transport and the people here would be able to travel to Delhi and Rajasthan easily.
