As both will offer continuous connectivity from the east to the west side of the city, these two sections are crucial from the standpoint of commuters in Bengaluru, according to a letter from MoHUA to the Additional Chief Secretary of the Urban Development Department, Karnataka government. On October 9, the 2.1 km Byappanahalli-KR Pura and 2.05 km Kengeri-Challaghatta sections of the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) would be operational.
