Bengaluru Extends Metro Services for Diljit Dosanjh Concert
In a move to accommodate the anticipated surge of concertgoers, the Bengaluru Metro will extend its services until midnight on the day of Diljit Dosanjh’s concert at NICE Grounds in Madavara. The extension aims to provide a convenient and efficient transportation option for fans attending the much-awaited event, part of Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati ten-city India tour.
Why the Extension Was Necessary
With thousands of fans expected to flock to the venue, Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) responded to concerns raised by local authorities, including Bengaluru Rural SP CK Baba, who explained to HT.com, “The metro is the primary mode of transport for many, so we requested BMRCL to extend services until 12 am to help concertgoers travel easily.” The extended metro hours are expected to alleviate potential traffic congestion and ensure that fans can get to and from the concert with minimal hassle.
Concert Details and Timing
The highly anticipated concert will take place at NICE Grounds, with gates opening at 4 PM. The performance by Diljit Dosanjh will kick off between 7 PM and 7:30 PM, and is expected to conclude by 11 PM. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure prime spots, as a large crowd is expected, given the popularity of the Punjabi music sensation.
Convenient Metro Access
The nearest metro station to the venue is Nagasandra, located just a 15-minute walk from the concert grounds. The extension of metro services will make it easier for attendees to travel to and from the concert, particularly for those who may not have access to private transportation or prefer public transit.
Diljit’s Local Flavor
Before the concert, Diljit Dosanjh took the opportunity to explore the city and indulge in some local culinary delights. He visited Rameshwaram Café, a popular local eatery known for its signature ghee podi idli, a beloved South Indian dish. The actor-singer’s visit to the iconic café added a personal touch to his visit, endearing him even more to his fans in Bengaluru.
Travel Tips for Concertgoers
BMRCL has encouraged commuters to plan their journeys in advance, advising concertgoers to make use of the metro for a more convenient and faster trip to the concert. The extended metro hours will ensure that fans can attend the concert and return home with ease, even after the usual cutoff time.
With transportation concerns addressed and Diljit Dosanjh’s visit to Bengaluru adding to the excitement, the concert is poised to be an unforgettable event for both the artist and his dedicated fanbase in the city.
