Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Karnataka on November 13 for programmes in Bengaluru and Mysuru, including the launch of the Bengaluru Metro Pink Line at Sadashivanagar Metro station and the foundation-laying of development projects worth ₹15,600 crore in the state, Prajavani reported.
Modi is scheduled to arrive at Bengaluru’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited airport by a special aircraft after departing Delhi at 7.30am. From 10.45am to noon, he will attend the golden jubilee celebrations of Prashanti Kutiram. The programme is expected to be attended by Karnataka Governor Sudha Yadav, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Union ministers, Members of Parliament from the respective areas and selected state ministers, according to the report.
At 12.40pm, the Prime Minister is scheduled to launch the Pink Line at Sadashivanagar Metro station. The report does not provide the line’s length, station count, opening date for passenger services or details of the operating arrangements. Those details will determine how the launch translates into changes for Bengaluru’s public transport network and daily commuters.
Following the metro programme, Modi is scheduled to attend an event at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore auditorium, where he will lay the foundation stones for several development projects valued at ₹15,600 crore in Karnataka. The report does not specify the individual projects, their locations, funding structure or implementation timelines.
The Prime Minister’s movement between venues is expected to use a helicopter after his arrival in Bengaluru, with the stated purpose of avoiding traffic congestion in the city. His schedule places the metro programme and the project event within the same morning and early afternoon window, bringing transport infrastructure and other development works into a single state visit.
Modi is scheduled to leave Bengaluru at 2.20pm and reach Mysuru at 3.20pm. In Mysuru, he will visit the Cosmos Mysuru planetarium near the entrance to Chamundi Hills. At 4pm, he is scheduled to inaugurate the planetarium and a Miyawaki-style urban forest developed in K.C. Nagar.
The Mysuru programme adds public science infrastructure and urban greening to the visit’s agenda. The report does not provide the area, cost, planting details or maintenance arrangements for the Miyawaki-style park, nor does it specify the facilities and capacity of the planetarium.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to depart Mysuru for Delhi at 8.55pm. The visit is being organised amid extensive preparations by the Bharatiya Janata Party, according to Prajavani. Further information on the operational opening of the Pink Line, the individual ₹15,600 crore projects and implementation milestones was not included in the report.
