Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport now has a fully-functional second terminal. Domestic operations at KIA’s Terminal 2, or T2, started on January 15th.
Over the next few months, international airlines would also start operating from here.
Called the Terminal in a Garden, T2 is a tribute to the Garden City of Bengaluru.
The construction of the second terminal began in October 2018 and it was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi on November 11, 2022.
To provide easy accessibility, a 4.4 km-long additional access road called the Terminal Boulevard was also built.
T2 showcases the rich history and culture of Karnataka and aims to provide a great visual experience. It was built on four guiding principles — terminal in a garden, sustainability, technology, and art and culture.
One of the standout features of T2 is the hanging garden.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
