The Wait Is Over

FIVE CHIEF MINISTERS, 11 years and an investment of Rs 14,000-odd crore — that’s what it took for Bengaluru’s Namma Metro to complete phase 1 of the metro connectivity. And despite the delays, Bengaluru has patiently waited for the inauguration of the Green Line, which marks the completion of the phase 1 of the project. The Green Line, which connects North and South Bengaluru could indeed be the silver lining city dwellers were waiting for and a progressive stride towards connecting the city end-to-end.
