Namma Metro UG-1 getting delayed??

vinpraja - 7-JAN-2011

Is Namma Metro UG-1 between Swastik to K.R.Road getting delayed? I tend to feel so as BMRCL is yet to award contract (in bmrc.co.in no info is given). Do note Ug-1 is crucial to Reach 4 as reach 4 lacks depot as well as full completion of Phase-1....

Eager to know about  when UG-1 tender is getting awarded and work starting on it...

Metro - MG Road Boulevard

Ravi_D - 27-MAY-2010

 BMRC has uploaded an artists impression of the proposed MG Road Boulevard. Large 10MB file full of graphics.
  

Proposal is for a two level boulevard,  spread along a 400m corridor next to the metro pillars that ends at Anil Kumble Jn. 

Should be a nice place to go to if the reality turns out as good.... Couldn't help think why cramp so many different activities in just a half a km stretch. Personally I'd prefer a single theme to a place, and many such places along the Metro lines. Why only MG Road? Why not landscape and use area under the pillars along many such places in the city?

Gammon and the Metro - is there a safety concern?

 After the recent bridge collapse in Rajasthan on the E-W corridor involving Gammon, am beginning to wonder about who would conduct a proper audit of the company's practices?  Since Bangalore Metro has offloaded a portion of the work to Gammon, this is particularly worrying for us. There are three major accidents that have been reported in the national press.

Benefits of metro rail

vinod_shankar - 5-NOV-2009

Every now and then i see one or the other organisation opposing the metro.  No doubt they entitled to their views, but do they ever see the benefits any metro brings to cities,(especillay the crowded ones like bangalore, mumbai etc)  Let me quote a few points from PIB regarding the delhi metro, i am sure such benefits will accrue to bangalore also once the metro is complete
