The final safety inspection that the Aqua line connecting Noida with Greater Noida was required to clear before becoming operational has concluded successfully, with the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) writing to the Uttar Pradesh government for a decision to be made on the inauguration, reports The Indian Express.
