PM Modi to go on metro ride to Electronic City on Sunday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive at HAL airport on Sunday and flag off Bengaluru-Belagavi Vande Bharat express physically and Amritsar-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Nagpur-Pune virtually.

He will later visit RV Road (Ragigudda) metro station and travel by the Yellow Line metro to Electronic City. He will then arrive at IIIT auditorium where he will lay the foundation stone for Bangalore Metro phase-3 and inaugurate the Yellow Line.

He will leave for Delhi at 2.20 pm.


At the metro event, the PM will be joined by Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot, chief minister Siddaramaiah, Union Ministers Manohar Lal, Ashwini Vaishnaw and HD Kumaraswamy, Dy CM DK Shivakumar, MoS V Somanna & Shobha Karandlaje and BJP state president BY Vijayendra and Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya.

The 19-km Yellow Line will initially operate at 25-minute intervals before improving to 20-minute frequency later this month with the addition of another train set. The line connects key tech and industrial hubs along congested Hosur Road, including Electronic City and Bommasandra and is expected to benefit about eight lakh commuters daily while easing traffic congestion at critical junctions like Silk Board.
