The much awaited two stretches on Bengaluru metro’s purple line, Krishnarajapuram – Baiyappanahalli and Kengeri – Challaghatta lines are likely to be operated from October 6, said a Moneycontrol report. With the inauguration of these two crucial metro lines, the entire purple line will be fully operational, expected to decongest the infamous East Bengaluru traffic.
The Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) had already inspected both the lines and KR Puram – Baiyappanahalli already received the safety nod. The Kengeri – Challaghatta line is expected to receive CMRS approval tomorrow, and BMRCL is reportedly planning the inauguration on Friday.
Speaking to the publication, a senior official said, “The Kengeri – Challaghatta line is yet to get the safety nod from the CMRS and we are expecting it tomorrow.
