(BMRCL) will be inaugurated on November 13. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate this stretch, indicating significant progress in the project. However, commuters are concerned about potential congestion at the RV Road interchange due to the partial opening of the 13.8-km underground portion of the Pink Line. The Minister emphasized that the government collaborated with BMRCL and other agencies to resolve issues and keep the project on schedule. The expansion of Bengaluru's metro network, now over 100 km, will further enhance the city's public transport infrastructure. The government aims to expand the metro network to 170 km by 2027, building on this recent achievement.",
