PM Modi to lay foundation stone for Bengaluru Suburban Rail project on June 20
After several delays, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the much-anticipated Bengaluru Suburban Rail project on June 20.
“Narendra Modi would lay the foundation stone for the Rs 15,000 crore Bengaluru Suburban Rail project on June 20. It is a major step in realising the long pending dream of Bengalureans,” said Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Monday.
The project aims to connect Bengaluru with its suburbs via a rail-based rapid-transit system that has been a dream of the state governments since 1983. The much-anticipated project is expected to be completed by 2026 at an estimated cost of Rs 15,767 crore, and has often been dubbed “India’s most integrated rail project”.
