Traffic likely to be affected in Bengaluru during PM visit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bengaluru on Sunday to flag off trains, the Yellow Line of Namma Metro and lay foundation for Metro Phase III, is expected to cause some traffic disruptions in the city.
However, the Prime Minister will fly in a helicopter between HAL Airport and Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna City Railway Station and from Electronics City to HAL Airport and travel by Namma Metro from R.V. Road Metro Station to Electronics City Metro Station, minimising his travel by road.
A senior traffic police official said that since the programme is being held on a Sunday, traffic will anyway be thin and the inconvenience the commuters will face be minimal.

Four years late, Bengaluru metro’s Yellow Line ready to roll
After nearly four years of anticipation and multiple delays, the much-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro, from R.V. Road to Bommasandra, will finally be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (August 10, 2025). The 19.15-kilometre corridor is expected to transform commuting in the city’s tech corridor, particularly benefiting lakhs of employees working in Electronic City and helping decongest traffic at the infamous Silk Board junction.
Originally envisioned in the 2011 Detailed Project Report (DPR) prepared by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), construction of the Yellow Line began in 2017. It was initially scheduled for completion by December 2021, but the project was plagued by a series of setbacks including delays in land acquisition, the COVID-19 pandemic, and hold-ups in rolling stock supply from the Chinese manufacturer CRRC Nanjing.
