CMRS Completes Inspecting Bangalore Metro’s Underground Section
That was QUICK! The Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety, SK Mittal, and his team from the Southern Railway yesterday completed the safety inspection of Bangalore Metro’s 4.8 km east-west underground section between MG Road & Magadi Road in a record 2 days! They worked continuously between 9-6 and didn’t request the BMRCL for any additional days. Speaking to the Deccan Chronicle, the CMRS said:
We will compile our report and observation within a week. 95 percent of the stretch is perfect, while there are some observations for the remaining 5 percent which I will reveal in the report.
What could the remaining 5% be? Perhaps interior & exterior works at Majestic station? Perhaps something related to the train’s speed & the radius of the curves at Cubbon Park and Sir. M Visveshwaraya College station? We’ll have to wait until the report comes out next week.

Hello TMRG Team,
Thanks for the update. You guys are really doing a great job. Perfect.
So glad to hear that the CMRS has completed the inspection at Majestic Metro. Hope that Metro service begins soon at this stretch. Only concern is that of the BRRCL completing their remaining structural work.

Lets wait for Mr.S.K.Mittal report and please let us know what is 5%??
Really hope they finish all the structural works and not end up making a hash of it like in Peenya station and try to disguise their failure by advertising it as some stupid art station. It has to be clean, complete and world class at the end of it all
what is that 5% work which is not meeting the guidelines of CMRS ? is it very important ?
The west bound underground platform at majestic station as seen in the picture seems very narrow. Majestic station will be the most crowded and I see this narrow platform area as a big risk.
Hello, can put some pics for Bangalore city railway metro station, what connection we can see for this one?
