Hyderabad: JBS-MGBS metro stretch to be opened in 10 days

The much-awaited metro line between JBS and MGBS will be opened in the next 10 days, said Industries minister KT Rama Rao at an event in Hyderabad on Friday.

The 11-km long stretch will be opened on corridor II before February 10, the minister added.

It is learned that the metro authorities are awaiting the appointment of the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to fix a date for the inauguration of the stretch. The launch of the metro line between JBS and MGBS paves the way for the introduction of passenger services on the last corridor of Hyderabad Metro Rail project phase-1.

The minister also said that the next phase will be grounded soon and the focus will be on bringing the metro line to Falaknuma and Shamshabad.
