Expressing happiness at the cabinet decision,BMRCL managing director N Sivasailam said preliminary work for Phase 2 would take off immediately. “It should take about six months for the approval from the Centre. In the meantime, we will begin work on detailed design construction, call tenders and other basic preliminary projects,” he added. On the challenges faced by the project, he said: “We have the experience of Phase 1 to guide us. Our basic challenges relate to management during construction, which we will try to improve further.”
