CMRS Advocate Bangalore Metro

The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety, K A Manoharan, on Thursday morning submitted his team’s 9-page safety report to the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. which certifies the Green Line’s 12 km Sampige Road – Yelachenahalli stretch fit for commercial operations. This report, compiled after a 4-day inspection towards the end of May, includes a set of 65 conditions (suggestions, rectifications & improvements) which are required to be implemented prior to the line’s launch this month.

Here’s the first page of the report. His authorization is 3/4ths of the way down:

                          

I have issued a safety certificate to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) but the conditions to complete civil work at KR Market and Chickpet stations stay. They have to send me a compliance report once they finish these minor works to ensure passengers are not inconvenienced. Simultaneously, they can hold the launch, and commission it after full compliance
