Summary:
After much of the infrastructure work was completed on the Nagasandra-BIEC section, residents are now demanding a Metro station which is easily accessible. The Rs 298-crore elevated line running 3km will have stations at Manjunath Nagar, Chikkabidarakallu (Jindal Nagar) and BIEC. Mukesh D, of JBYS, said the distance between Metro stations is generally around 1km. “The distance between Nagasandra and Manjunath Nagar is 550 metres and to Jindal Nagar, is 750 m.
However, a 2.1-km stretch separates Jindal and BIEC stations. Fresh land acquisition, realignment, fresh NHAI approvals and redesign of BIEC station will have to be done..
