President Pranab Mukherjee will today inaugurate the first phase of Green Line of 'Namma Metro' in Bengaluru.
The 10.5-km stretch of the Green Line will connect Nagasandra in the north to Yelachanahalli in the south.
The commercial operations for the same will start from Sunday.
The inauguration ceremony is likely to be held at Vidhan Soudha in the Karnataka capital.
