Modi Inaugurates Bengaluru Metro’s Pink Line, Takes Ride With CM

What's behind this

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the much‑awaited Pink Line of Bengaluru’s Metro on Friday, flagging off services together with Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. The line runs from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere and was built at a cost of around Rs 3,470 crore. BMRCL announced the line’s timings as it began operations, while the Prime Minister said the project, now part of the network’s 100 km club, goes beyond infrastructure to reflect the country’s focus on ease of living and travel.
