South Western Railway (SWR) had plans to make Sir M. Visvesvaraya Railway Terminal at Baiyappanahalli – said to be the country’s first ever centralised AC terminal – operational in March, but is yet to do so as officials are waiting for a date from the Prime Minister’s office for the inauguration.
“The terminal is all set to open. Once the PMO gives a date, necessary arrangements will be made for commercial operations. Now, as COVID-19 cases are rising at an alarming rate, the terminal could be inaugurated through virtual mode or by limiting the number of guests. The decision will be taken at a higher level,” an SWR official said.
