Which of the following city of the South India has started its first metro rail named as ‘Namma Metro’?
- a.Bengaluru
- b.Vishakhapattnam
- c.Secunderabad
- d.Kanpur
Answer: (A) Bengaluru
Namma Metro ('Our Metro' in Kannada) is the metro rail of Bengaluru, run by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation, whose first section opened in 2011. Secunderabad, the twin city of Hyderabad, is served by the Hyderabad Metro. Visakhapatnam had no operating metro at the time of the exam. Kanpur is a north Indian city, so it is wrong on both counts.
