CMRS inspection of two metro lines by Sept 15, says BMRCL
.The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) will inspect two newly built metro lines within the next 10 days, most probably on September 11 and 12, according to officials in the know.
The CMRS inspection is a statutory requirement for starting commercial operations on a metro line. It will happen by September 15 and will take two days, said Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) boss Anjum Parwez.
Among the lines is the crucial 2.1-km Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura stretch that will link the tech hub of Whitefield with the CBD and beyond. The other line is a 1.9-km section that will connect Kengeri and Chellaghatta. The opening of both lines will expand the Purple Line to 43 km and the Bengaluru metro network to over 73 km.
