Old City Metro Prepares for Construction with Milestones
Imagine they're building a new train line in the Old City!
First, they're putting up markers every 100 meters to show where the train will go.
They're also asking other groups to move things like pipes and wires that are in the way.
The boss is really excited about it, so things are moving quickly.
They also realized they won't need to buy as many houses as they thought, which is good.
They're working hard to make sure everything goes smoothly!
Metro Rail authorities are installing milestones along the Old City route.
Tenders for civil construction works will be invited next month.
The 7.5-km stretch from MGBS to Chandrayangutta is where milestones are being installed.
Other departments are relocating utilities to facilitate the project.
Fewer properties will be affected than originally estimated.
