BENGALURU: The first test pile (foundation for piers) for the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) was cast last month near the Hebbal Railway station. The foundation stone to mark the elimination of a Railway Level Crossing (LC) gate at Nagawara too was hurriedly done before elections were announced. Barring these developments on the only tendered corridor so far, the Chikkabanavar-Baiyappanahalli Line (Corridor-2), work on the Rs 15,767-crore project is on at a sluggish pace with the 2026 deadline an impossibility as of now.
