Delay in shifting GAIL’s gas pipeline stalls metro work in Bengaluru
Metro construction work is stalling in at least three sites in Bengaluru on the Outer Ring Road-airport line due to delays in shifting the gas pipeline.
Despite the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) diligently following up the issue for two years, the relocation work has been slow. In fact, GAIL has just completed work at Kadubeesanahalli, while it is yet to complete relocation of the pipeline at Veerannapalya, Yelahanka and Kodibeesanahalli.
GAIL had promised metro authorities that the work would be completed by mid 2021.
