PM Modi Thanks Mysuru For Warm Welcome; Inaugurates Bengaluru Metro Pink Line

Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the people of Mysuru for their warm hospitality during his Karnataka visit on November 13, 2026. He shared a video of the visit on social media with messages in English and Kannada. The footage showed large crowds lining the roads, waving flags and cheering as his motorcade passed through the city.

Supporters held placards reading “I Modi” and welcomed the Prime Minister with enthusiasm. The roadshow featured traditional elements and strong public participation, reflecting the local response to his visit.

During his Mysuru programme, PM Modi inaugurated the COSMOS-Mysuru Planetarium at the University of Mysore, near Chamundi Hill. The facility features a pioneering curved LED dome and aims to promote astronomy education. The Prime Minister also participated in a tree plantation programme.

Earlier, PM Modi inaugurated a 7.5-km stretch of Bengaluru’s Namma Metro Pink Line, connecting Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere. The ₹3,470-crore project pushed Bengaluru’s operational metro network beyond 100 km, marking a major milestone in the city’s urban transport infrastructure.

Photographs from the inauguration showed Prime Minister Modi flagging off a decorated metro train alongside Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar. He also purchased a QR-based ticket at the station counter before boarding the train. During the journey, he waved and gestured towards people gathered along the route.

In his bilingual message, PM Modi highlighted the Pink Line’s role in improving connectivity along Bannerghatta Road. The stretch will provide better access to key destinations, including IIM Bengaluru, and strengthen public transport in the rapidly expanding city.
