Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a day-long visit to Karnataka today. During the visit, Mr Modi will flag off three Vande Bharat Express trains at KSR Railway Station in Bengaluru. It includes trains from Bengaluru to Belagavi, Amritsar to Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Nagpur (Ajni) to Pune. Thereafter, he will flag off Yellow line of Bangalore metro and undertake a metro ride from RV Road, Ragigudda to Electronic City metro station. The Prime Minister will also inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of urban connectivity projects in Bengaluru and address a public function.
Mr Modi will lay the foundation stone of Bangalore Metro Phase-3 project worth over 15,610 crore rupees. The total route length of the project will be more than 44 kilometres with 31 elevated stations. Akashvani correspondent reports that Vande Bharat service to be dedicated by the Prime Minister today will provide a comfortable travel option to those travelling to Belagavi in North Karnataka.
Vande Bharat service to Belagavi was very eagerly awaited by the railway passengers as it will reduce travel time between the two cities. Another important project is related to the Metro Yellow line connecting Electronic city, where top IT BT companies have their headquarters. This line will also ease traffic on Hosur road that takes us to Tamilnadu. The third phase of Namma Metro network once operationalised will improve mobility by taking the total metro network to 220 kms in Bengaluru.
