Safety inspection of Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura metro line put off
Metro rail fans’ enthusiasm turned into frustration as the statutory inspection of two sections was postponed at the eleventh hour.
The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) was scheduled to conduct the statutory inspection of the 2.1-km Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura section, which is on the Purple Line, on September 13.
The inspection was to start at Benniganahalli and conclude at Baiyappanahalli after covering Baiyappanahalli.
This small stretch is of crucial importance in linking the tech hub of Whitefield to the CBD and the rest of the city. The 13.7-km KR Pura-Whitefield line is operational, but cut off from the rest of the metro network.
