BENGALURU: Kengeri’s wait for Namma Metro connectivity is likely to end soon.
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Tuesday issued a public notice asking people not to come in contact with the 33kv cables and 750 volt DC third rail installed on the viaduct.
The completed third rail traction system would be energised in phases.
Officials said Namma Metro’s 6-km western extension from Mysuru Road to Kengeri (Purple Line) is on track.
BMRCL managing director Ajay Seth said trial runs on the section will begin from March-end and commercial operations will start in June as per schedule.

BENGALURU: The central government should ideally relinquish control over Covid-19 vaccine distribution and introduce teh drug on the open market, believes Dr MK Sudarshan, head of the state’s Covid-19 technical advisory committee.
Dr Sudarshan said based on a prescription, anyone who is above 18 years of age must be allowed to receive the vaccine.
“The time has come to remove control and restrictions over availability and use of Covid-19 vaccines in the country,” Dr Sudarshan said. “This is because Covid-19 infections are spiraling again in many states, but the pace of vaccination is slow for various reasons. Vaccination is certainly one way to protect oneself against the disease.”
