Pink Line elevated corridor likely to be inaugurated on November 15: CM (Page one)

The 7.5-km elevated corridor between Kalena Agrahara and Tavarekere, received clearance from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety on Wednesday.

Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar hinted that the elevated corridor of Namma Metro Pink Line is likely be opened in mid-November, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was likely to visit the city for the Metro inauguration on November 15.

However, Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said the dates had not been definitively confirmed by the Central representatives, who had only indicated a possible visit in mid-November. He said he was seeking an appointment with the representatives next week to confirm the dates.

In a step closer to the inauguration of the line, the 7.5-km elevated corridor between Kalena Agrahara and Tavarekere, received clearance from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) on Wednesday.
