Whitefield’s metro dream is closer than ever.
Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) said on Tuesday that it had received clearance from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) for the 13.71-km line that will serve the city’s eastern suburbs notorious for traffic congestion.
BMRCL boss Anjum Parwez told DH that they had received clearance from the CMRS with “a few observations”. Asked about the launch of commercial operations, he stated that the date hadn’t been finalised.
Parwez had earlier said that the BMRCL would need about 10 days for compliance if the CMRS made any recommendations.
