All construction work and safety tests have been completed and the Rail Safety Commissioner too approved commercial operations on August 3.

The BMRCL is now preparing inauguration of the Nagasandra-Madavara metro line and the date is likely to be fixed at the end of this month after consultations with the Urban Development Department. The new metro line connects three stations including Manjunathanagar, Chikkabidarakallu and Madavara.

The Green Line extension from Nagasandra to Madavara has been ready for public use for over 15 days, having received all the necessary safety clearances. Yet, the delay in its formal opening is causing inconvenience to daily commuters, who continue to wait unnecessarily.
