What's behind this
Bengaluru's Namma Metro has crossed the 100‑kilometre mark following the opening of its Pink Line, an event highlighted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who flagged off the new line. The expansion comes as Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has appealed to the prime minister for a more equitable sharing of costs between the centre and the state and for quicker clearances on pending metro projects. The launch of the Pink Line therefore occurs amid a funding dispute between the centre and Karnataka over the metro's future extensions.
