CMRS Begins Safety Inspection of Bengaluru Metro Pink Line Elevated Section
The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS), V. Venkatasubramanian, began a three-day statutory safety inspection of the 7.5-km elevated section of Bengaluru's Namma Metro Pink Line, spanning six stations from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere. This mandatory process precedes authorization for public operations. The Pink Line also includes a 13.8-km underground section, with work nearing completion. Following CMRS clearance, BMRCL will seek government approval to commence passenger services, planning six trains with peak frequencies of six minutes.
