Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the much-awaited Pink Line from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere of the Metro Rail project here, built at a cost of around Rs 3,470 crore. PM Modi and Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar together flagged off the new services and travelled on the Metro train. Modi and Shivakumar were also seen buying separate tickets from the counter. The chief minister explained to the PM about the advantage of a double-decker elevated corridor having a metro rail line as well as a flyover to ease traffic congestion in the city. Governor Sudha Yadav, MP Tejasvi Surya and Minister K B Gowda also travelled in the Metro train. The total length of the Pink Line is 21.25 km, comprising 18 stations. While the elevated corridor, which the prime minister inaugurated, has six stations, the underground section will have 12 stations and is still under construction.

Air India will rebalance its airport hubs and network, reduce costs as well as look for more wide-body aircraft, its CEO and MD Tewolde Gebremariam said on Tuesday as the airline bets big on growth opportunities.
