Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the KR Puram-Whitefield metro line on March 25, according to a government source.
While Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) didn’t specify when the 13.71-km line would open, the government source said that would happen on March 25 when Modi would be in Karnataka to take part in several events.
Another source in the government wouldn’t commit to a date but confirmed that the inauguration would happen in the “fourth week of March”.
A well-placed source in the BMRCL would only confirm that Modi would inaugurate the metro line. “We have sent a request to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) but haven’t received an official confirmation yet,” the source said.
