The Hindu
It started work at Cantonment and is expected to come out at Shivajinagar in a few days
In July 2020, when Bengaluru was coming to terms with the pandemic, the tunnel boring machine (TBM), Urja, started its underground journey from Cantonment. After more than a year, it has almost completed tunnelling through the 850 metre stretch and will achieve a breakthrough at Shivajinagar in three to four days.
Urja, will be the first TBM to achieve a breakthrough on Namma Metro’s Pink Line from Kalenga Agrahara to Nagawara (21kms). The machine is just 10-12 metres away from the breakthrough point.
