Groundwork for Metro Rail underway

Is a new era dawning for infrastructure projects in Bangalore? Even as we heard that construction of the Bangalore Mysore Expressway had taken off and the Civil Aviation Ministry was clearing the decks for the takeoff of the International Airport comes another bit of news on the infra front. The New Indian Express reports that the state government has issued an order staying the development of 247 properties which are likely to fall on the metro rail routes. Positive signs of progress on this project.
