PM Modi to Inaugurate Chennai Metro Phase II Poonamallee-Vadapalani Stretch on October 11
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate the 14.6-km Poonamallee-Vadapalani stretch of Chennai Metro Rail's phase II on October 11. This corridor, part of Corridor 4, recently received regulatory approval and aims to ease traffic congestion on western Chennai's arterial roads. Modi may also inaugurate the Vellore airport during his visit. While the stretch will improve connectivity, some station constructions between Porur and Vadapalani remain incomplete, with no clear opening date announced.
