Campaign - Support Metro @ Whitefield Stn (Kadugodi)

27 August 2010 - 8:02pm — Ramesh Menon

Metro at Bangalore is the right step forward towards making this city truly international. This will not only reduce congestion on our overloaded road transport but will also be environment friendly. The need to cut trees for road widening or using own vehicle for commuting will be nullified to a great extent. Travel by Metro will be convenient, safe and affordable for all.
