    Good news for Bangalorians and best wishes to present govt..for active role in development the metro our Congressmen ruined our country, from the day first of the independence of this country. Common people are in frustration and uncertainity is everywhere. Khadi & Gandhi is their mask to hide from the public. 35 Scams within 3 years of time. 2G scam alone costs the country of Rs.1lakh60,000/ crores. They stashed abroad Rs.20 lakhs 80,000 crores. We have to doubt each and every men who support them. We will support anyone who come against those Royal families of India.

    Great news for the Bangalore commuters, much awaited though! Lot of traffic will be taken away from the roads which are heavily congested with traffic presently, and hopefully, there will be less pollution, resulting in cleaner air and atmosphere. The frequency of trains running at every 10 and 15 minutes is quite good, and every commuter should take advantage of this new mode of transport. The commuting will be much cheaper, faster and more importantly, safer. Wish to congratulate the authorities on this great occasion.

    Namma Metro without Yeddy, what a pity, all the hard work by Yeddy has gone waste like "performing Homa in the Water". All the people of Bangalore will miss you on the Day. Atleast you will have the facility of watching live in your Cell.

    Look at the 1st picture where number of fools( am sorry to call this way) working UNSAFELY sitting on the elevated load balancing /dancing on a single sling. What happens if sling break & collapse? . The employer of this contractor should be punished for putting people’s safely on risk . These workers too have family / children waiting at home to see them returning safely . If something goes wrong we blame everyone , a committee will be formed & forget after sometime. Think simple Think Safety. This is not the way working forward to show world that India is raising
