Bangalore Metro Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) authorities kept it low-key when they inaugurated the Plaza concourse in M.G. Road Metro Station on Monday though work is yet to be completed. The Plaza concourse enables commuters to reach the station on the other side of the road and exit from there, and also enables them to go to Church Street. A day after the inauguration of the Plaza concourse, work was still in progress. While the escalator on the ground floor had been cordoned off, workers were fixing the escalators on the first floor where commuters buy tickets. There is no lift in the Plaza concourse at present.
The M.G. Road Metro Station is part of the first phase of Namma Metro connecting Bayappanahalli via Trinity, Halasuru, Indiranagar and Swami Vivekananda Road. Incidentally, the M.G. Road station has been now technically completed with the inauguration of the Plaza concourse on the Namma Metro’s third anniversary.
Kurien V., a commuter, said: “With the opening of the Plaza concourse, at least one loop is complete”. The Plaza concourse provides access to Church Street through ramps.
