Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay urges Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fast-track an inter-state metro rail link connecting Bengaluru/Hosur with Bommasandra (reported as Hosur–Bommasandra or Hosur–Bommasamudra/Bommasamudra sector). Multiple outlets report Vijay is seeking central approval and funding to move the project forward.
The Hindu adds context that Vijay frames the connection as beneficial to both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It also reports he asks Modi to reconsider metro rail plans for Coimbatore and Madurai, citing expected future development and economic growth in Tamil Nadu’s western and southern regions. Mint similarly reports Vijay requests fast-tracking of the Bengaluru–Hosur metro link and approval of Chennai Metro Phase III, alongside funds for additional projects in Tamil Nadu. Times of India focuses on the request for approving the Bengaluru metro extension to Hosur.
