ਮੇਨਜ਼
GS Paper 1/2 (urban infrastructure and governance): Rapid urbanisation strains Bengaluru's roads, and metro corridors like the Pink Line are the policy response through a Union-State joint venture, BMRCL. The implication is lower congestion and better last-mile connectivity, but delays and costs need managing. The way forward is timely completion, integration with buses and suburban rail, and coordinated urban planning.
