Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) managing director N Sivasailam on Saturday said the state government has approved the detailed project report (DPR) and BMRC will now submit the DPR to the government for final approval in the next two weeks.
There is more good news.The BMRC will have a trunk line of 24km from IIM-B on Bannerghatta Road and Nagawara in North Bangalore,of which 15 km will be underground.
A high-powered panel approved an additional branch line
in Reach 4 to connect RV Road via BTM Layout,Central Silk Board and Electronic City which will culminate at Bommasandra.The above projects were cleared by a high-powered committee chaired by chief secretary, he said.
Asked if monorail was essential since the Metro was criss-crossing the city,Sivasailam said while theres no harm having different types of transport,monorail may generate intellectual property rights (IPR) issues.While there was a proposal for monorail connectivity from Central Silk Board to Hebbal,it has now come into the folds of Metro, he said.
