Bengaluru's Yellow Line Of Namma Metro To Launch Soon, Check All Stations And Routes
Bengaluru's Yellow Line of the Namma Metro, connecting Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road (RV Road) and Bommasandra, has entered its final safety inspections. The safety inspection will be conducted by the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) from July 22 to July 25. The Yellow Line stretches around 18.82 kilometres. The Yellow Line aims to improve connectivity in Bengaluru, reducing traffic congestion and providing a direct interchange with the Green and Pink Lines. It has faced multiple delays and missed several earlier deadlines. As per the latest reports, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is all set to inaugurate the line this year in August. Initially, three trains will run on this route, with plans to increase frequency and add more trains. The inspection will be carried out to evaluate the condition and safety of the tracks and also assess the structural integrity of elevated sections. The authority will review the readiness and safety of stations, and verify the functionality and safety of signalling systems. The CMRS will review the Operations Control Centre at the Baiyappanahalli depot on July 25. The Yellow Line will provide direct access to Electronic City, which is home to major IT firms such as Infosys and Biocon. It will also alleviate traffic at the Silk Board Junction. There will be better connectivity for residential hubs like BTM Layout, HSR Layout, and Bommasandra Industrial Area. The Yellow Line connects with the Green, Blue and Pink Lines, which improved city-wide transit flows. It aims to reduce road congestion and encourage more metro usage, especially along the tech corridors. List Of All Stations: RV Road: It is an interchange with the Green Line Ragigudda Jayadeva Hospital: It will be a future interchange with the Pink Line BTM Layout Central Silk Board: Commuters will be able to interchange with the Blue Line in future.

Delhi Metro services partially hit after storm; Pink Line restored, delays on Red and Yellow Lines
New Delhi [India], May 21 (ANI): Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Wednesday said that services have resumed normally on the Pink Line but continue to be affected on parts of the Red and Yellow Lines due to overhead equipment (OHE) damage caused by strong winds and rain in the national capital. In a post on X, DMRC said, 'Metro Service Update: services on Pink Line are running normal now. 2. Due to OHE breakdowns, train services are regulated and operating on a single line on the following sections of Red and Yellow Line: * Red Line: Dilshad Garden to New Bus Adda *Yellow Line: Vishwavidyalaya to Samaypur Badli.' 'Services on remaining sections of these lines are running through both Up and Down Lines but are little delayed,' DMRC said in their post on X, adding, 'Services on all other lines which are not impacted by this windstorm are running normal.' Earlier in the day, DMRC had said that metro operations were affected in some parts of the Red, Yellow and Pink Lines due to damage to overhead equipment and external objects falling onto the tracks following heavy rain and hailstorms in parts of Delhi. Areas near Shaheed Nagar, Jahangirpuri and Nizamuddin stations were among the worst affected. 'Due to sudden windstorm, there has been some damage to OHE or external objects falling/coming on to metro tracks at certain locations,' DMRC had said in a statement. The DMRC had assured commuters that efforts were underway to remove the obstructions and restore the damaged overhead equipment in order to fully resume normal operations. (ANI)
