The 2.1-km Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura metro stretch may open on October 2, according to the Department of Information and Public Relations.
The announcement was made on Facebook, but officials in the department conceded that the date was tentative and no final decision had been taken. They said only Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited could confirm it.
BMRCL boss Anjum Parwez told DH that the date for opening the crucial link hadn’t yet been decided.
The commencement of commercial operations depends on several factors, including the availability of political leaders and other dignitaries.
