Rains in Bengaluru have caused water logging in Nallurhalli metro station, which was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this year. The 13.71 kilometer long stretch was inaugurated by the Prime Minister as a result of the Bengaluru Metro Phase II Project.
Several citizens took to social media to highlight the water logging in the important project, days after its inauguration.

Randeep Singh Surjewala, Congress general secretary and Karnataka in-charge, had questioned the state government and the officials making PM inaugurate incomplete projects. “Why is PM Modi inaugurating the Purple Metro Line without the construction of the mandatory metro link between Byappanahalli Metro Station and KR Puram Metro Station? Is it not correct that this missing Metro Link, which crosses over an electrified railway line, will take at least six months more to be completed.”
