Citizens of Bengaluru are unhappy this election season owing to the delays in metro construction and in the opening of the new Yellow Line stretch, and the traffic chaos caused by ongoing construction works.
The Namma Metro currently ranks as India’s second-longest operational metro network, spanning 73.81 kilometres. However, commuters have been complaining about the slow pace of construction work on the other phases.
As the Lok Sabha elections approach, commuters are questioning the Central government about the slow pace of metro work. Crucial tech corridors in the city, such as the Outer Ring Road, Sarjapur Road, Domlur, Koramangala, Bommanahalli, and Electronics City, are yet to be connected by metro.
