The expansion of the Bodaki Railway Station in Greater Noida into a Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) has reached a major milestone. Around 1500 to 1800 families from seven villages have officially agreed to provide their land for the project. This consensus removes a significant hurdle for the development of what is expected to be the largest railway terminal in the Delhi-NCR region, aimed at reducing the passenger load on Anand Vihar and New Delhi stations.
