Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sanction the inter-State Metro Rail link between Hosur in Tamil Nadu and Bommasandra in Karnataka for the benefit of both States.

Participating in the inauguration of passenger services on the Chennai Metro Rail stretch from Poonamallee Bypass to Vadapalani, covering 11 elevated stations, and the foundation-laying ceremony for new projects, Mr. Vijay urged the Prime Minister to reconsider the proposals for Metro Rail projects in Coimbatore and Madurai in view of the future development and economic growth of western and southern Tamil Nadu. The event was held at the Kendriya Vidyalaya on the IIT-Madras premises.

“I take this opportunity to request that Phase III of the Chennai Metro Rail project, covering approximately 65 km from the Airport to Kilambakkam, Poonamallee to Sunguvarchatram, and Koyambedu to Pattabiram, be approved early to improve connectivity, strengthen public transport, and ensure comprehensive coverage of the Chennai Metropolitan Area,” Mr. Vijay said.
