What is happening

A partial stretch of Bengaluru's Namma Metro Pink Line has opened to the public, though commuters and experts say it is unlikely to ease congestion on Bannerghatta Road on its own.

The Pink Line is designed to connect Kalena Agrahara in the south to Nagawara in the north of the city.

It is one of several corridors being built under Bengaluru Metro's Phase 2 expansion.
