‘Metro Suvarna Offer 2021’ rewards frequent travellers
Travelling regularly in metro rail is not only cheaper, quicker, environment friendly and safe but could also win you white goods. Frequent rider Y. Rajashekar took home a 43-inch colour TV as first prize, Mounica and P.V. Srikanth got washing machines for second and third prizes while Rajashekhar Reddy and Sree Bindu won a microwave oven each in a draw of lots conducted by the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) for those who had travelled more than 20 times last month.
These are the winners of the monthly lucky draw offer under the ‘Metro Suvarna Offer 2021’ launched recently. L&TMRH CEO & MD K.V.B. Reddy and Hyderabad Metro Rail MD N.V.S. Reddy were present to hand over the prizes to the lucky winners at a function held inside the Ameerpet interchange station on Monday evening. Thanking the passengers for their patronage of the metro rail facility, the MDs stated that the daily passenger count has risen to 2.30 lakh a day indicating that ‘normalcy’ was returning, albeit gradually.
People have suffered during the pandemic and our service too was badly hit. But, now things are looking up and we are confident of reaching the pre-pandemic levels of ridership of four lakh plus, pretty soon. Our services have been efficient and punctuality has been good even during heavy rains. We have had tremendous response to the ‘Suvarna Offer’,” said Mr. K.V.B. Reddy.
