KR Puram-Whitefield stretch is the first phase of the KR Puram-Baiyappanahalli line and there are 12 stations on this corridor. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited recently decided to rename six stations on the Whitefield-KR Puram metro line.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated a new stretch of the Bengaluru Metro Phase II project in Karnataka on Saturday. It was the 13.71 km stretch from Krishnarajapuram to the Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Line of the Reach-1 extension project at Whitefield (Kadugodi) Metro Station.
This stretch is the first phase of the KR Puram-Baiyappanahalli line and there are 12 stations on this corridor. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) recently decided to rename six stations on the Whitefield-KR Puram metro line.
BMRCL has rechristened KR Puram as Krishnarajapuram, Kadugodi as Kadugodi Tree Park, Hoodi Junction as Hoodi, Channasandra as Hopefarm Channasandra, Mahadevapura as Singayyappanapalya, and Whitefield as Whitefield (Kadugodi). BMRCL has renamed these stations so that the new names reflect local landmarks and culture.
